Citing information is important and necessary for several reasons and one of them being the most impotant, to me, is acknowledgment for the author. While reading a excerpt from Howard, Hot Type: A Modern Scholar’s Ailments: Link Rot and Footnote Flight, I realized that there are many reasons one should cite informatiom, that are all equivelantly important. Cititng reliable sources also validates conclusions that are made or presumed. We can not state facts that can not be supported by proper research. quality should also be considered when citing source. Links to the sources trace the information and represent the gatheresd information

Hi Emira you made a very good point there citing information is important, but citing reliable sources is a good example why we cite our sources in the first place. We can not just cite information we found because one or two words from our topic was mentioned, but the quantity and quality the source has. The sources we cite should be supported as well by the research itself, it makes our research papers accurate.
