Blog/Citing

Citing information is important and necessary for many reasons and one of them is acknowledgment for who wrote the book/article. To me citing makes your source relevant, and supports what ever work you are doing. People who read your work always want to know where your information came from, It validates your work. because if you do not put where it came from, people will judge your work and may not believe its factual. People also may think you plagiarized your work or copy it because it was not cited. Cite work by posting the web address or you could always use easybib.com, to cite works.

 

 

Citing and credibility- Miguel Olivares

The articles made some good points about citations. I believe that citations are more important to me now than ever before because it subconsciously validates what the author is saying in my mind. I think it establishes a sense of trust which allows you to take in the information without having second thoughts about what you are reading. The citing of sources also gives the reader more options to help answer any question that they have after reading the main article or paper. No need to scroll through Google results for ten minutes from you have work cited right there in front of you that you can refer to.
