What to Cite?
You must cite every source that you use (ideas, words, etc.) and give credit for any other person’s intellectual property:
- Written
Books (including on-line), periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers), pamphlets, charts, statistics, graphs, maps, letters, internet webpages, online databases, emails, graphics, government documents, etc.
- Spoken
Speeches, lectures, personal interviews, etc.
- Other
Performances, recordings, television, radio, film, etc.
While you don’t have to cite common knowledge (facts that are widely known by non-experts, such as the current President of the United States). BE VERY CAREFUL. You will find that when you are doing research that many experts state the same facts. YOU MUST GIVE CREDIT through an appropriate reference to one of the experts if the facts are not widely known by NON-EXPERTS - that is, the person on the street.
