Objective:
The tutorial asks you to think about different types of material students commonly use in their academic essays and whether—and, importantly, why that material requires citation.
Click the forward arrow to begin.
Beginning researchers often ask, "Do I have to cite everything?" This is a good question because not every piece of information in a research paper must be cited. Figuring out what to cite and what not to cite can sometimes be difficult, even for experienced researchers. Generally, if you are unsure, include a citation. It’s always better to have an unnecessary citation in your paper than to omit one that is necessary.
