Within your reports and papers, you'll need to include in-text citations whenever you refer to outside sources or include charts or other visuals, in addition to your full reference list. This will allow your readers to easily trace back each piece of information to your credible source, thereby strengthening your argument.
Citing sources properly is necessary to demonstrate where your information is coming from. It also helps keep you from accidentally plagiarizing.
Be sure to check with your instructor to see what citation format you should be using.
