10	Does This Need To Be Cited?
11	Why to Cite Sources It is important to give credit to others for their work. It is also useful for other researchers to know where we got the information so that they can use it. When we cite we have to include specific information for the source, such as author, editor, title, publisher, date, page number and web site. It is considered plagiarizing if we do not cite correctly.
