Why do we cite?
• Citations demonstrate how you developed your argument and ideas from the ideas of others
• Citations give credit where credit is due• Citations give the reader of your work a path
to the sources you used, so they can investigate those sources if interested
(Mohanty et al., 2009)

Why do we cite?
• If you don’t acknowledge other people’s work, words or ideas you commit plagiarism
“Penalties for plagiarism serve both to educate students about standards of scholarship and to deter deception and poor scholarly practices. Penalties will reflect the seriousness of the offence; including whether the offence was intentional or unintentional and whether it was a first or a repeat offence” (Okanagan College, 2010, Penalties section, para. 1 ).
