Do I Need to Cite Everything?
Citations in a student’s research essay.
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 is always better to have an unnecessary citation in your paper than to omit one that is necessary.
Important: Your school’s policy on academic integrity and plagiarism might contain guidelines that differ from those in this tutorial. When in doubt, always follow the guidelines that are specific to your school.
Materials that Don’t Require Acknowledgment
The following types of sources do not require acknowledgment:
- Common knowledge
- Facts
- Your own ideas
- Your own field research
Common Knowledge
Common knowledge refers to information that is widely known or easily observable. Ask yourself:
“Is this something everyone knows?”
Thinking about What Counts as Common Knowledge
Facts
Facts are uncontested pieces of information that can be found in a number of sources, especially reference sources such as encyclopedias. Ask yourself:
“Is this a commonly accepted fact?”
Thinking about What Counts as a Fact
Recognizing Facts
Question
For the following examples, use the dropdowns to indicate whether or not these statements are facts.

Your Own Ideas
Your Own Ideas are present whenever you interpret information from your research or when you draw independent conclusions. Ask yourself:
“Is this an insight or argument I came up with on my own?”
Thinking about What Counts as Your Own Ideas
Your Own Field Research
Your own field research is knowledge that you create by conducting a field study such as a survey, interview, or observation. Ask yourself:
“Is this information I collected on my own?”
Thinking about What Counts as Your Own Field Research
Materials that Require Acknowledgment
Commonly consulted sources for research projects include books, articles from journals or newspapers, and Web sites. Keep in mind that some of your sources may be somewhat unusual, such as blog comments, an interview you conduct yourself, or the instruction manual for a model ship kit. Everything that you draw from another source, unless it falls into one of the categories described earlier (common knowledge, fact, your own ideas, and your own field research), must be cited.
Your citations should appear in two places: first, in the body of your paper, and second, in a list at the end of the paper. The style of citation your teacher has asked you to use will affect the formatting of these citations.
Materials that Require Acknowledgment
In-text citations in MLA style.
For example, in Modern Language Association (MLA) style, your in-text citations should include the author’s last name and the page number where the information can be found.
Materials that Require Acknowledgment
A Works Cited entry in MLA style.
Complete bibliographic information for each source will appear in a section titled “Works Cited.”
You can think of citations as a kind of map for your reader. An in-text citation guides the reader to the “Works Cited” section so that she can see where a particular idea came from. The “Works Cited” section gives precise directions on how to find the source itself.
Materials that Require Acknowledgment
The following types of sources do require acknowledgment:
- Another person’s words
- Another person’s ideas
- Judgments, opinions, and arguments that are not yours
- Visual information
- Information that can be attributed to a company or organization rather than a single person
- Information gathered from class lectures or from another aural source
Another Person’s Words
Always cite direct quotations.
Ask yourself:
“Is this a direct quotation from another source?”
Citing Another Person’s Words
Another Person’s Ideas
Always cite another person’s ideas, even if you have summarized or paraphrased them yourself.
Ask yourself:
“Is this an idea I found in another source?”
Citing Another Person’s Ideas
Judgments, Opinions, and Arguments
Remember that these aren’t facts or common knowledge. If they aren’t your own insights, they are someone else’s ideas. Ask yourself:
“Is this an argument from another source?”
Citing Judgments, Opinions, and Arguments
Visual Information
If you use a chart, graph, or picture from another source—or if you use the information from that chart, graph, or picture—acknowledge the source.
Citing Visual Information
Information that can be attributed to a company or organization rather than a single person
It is often the case that Web pages tend not to list individual authors. In this case, the organization that sponsored the publication should be listed as the author. If an author is unknown, as in an anonymous manuscript, your citation should indicate that.
Citing Information from a Company or Organization
Information from class lectures or from another aural source
If you heard the information rather than saw it, you must still cite it. There are various ways to cite information you’ve heard, including as a lecture, a personal communication, or an interview. Consult the appropriate documentation style for your course to find out how this material should be cited.
Exercise: When to Acknowledge Sources
Read each of the following statements and decide whether or not material included in the statement requires acknowledgment by the student writer.
If acknowledgment is required, click on Requires Acknowledgment.
Otherwise, click on Does Not Require Acknowledgment.

In Jameson Heights, an affluent and predominantly white neighborhood, I observed abundant fresh fruits and vegetables at reasonable prices in each of the three supermarkets; in nearby Jamesonville, an impoverished neighborhood with predominantly Latino and African American residents, I found only limited and poor-quality produce in the single remaining grocery store, and the prices were higher than in the Jameson Heights supermarkets.
