When to Cite?
If you use another person’s exact words you must always do both of the following:
- Provide a citation, either in the text or in a footnote and
- Enclose the words in quotation marks or place them in a block of indented single spaced text if the quote is over 40 words long.
If you use another person’s ideas/thoughts/creations you must:
- Paraphrase/summarize your understanding of these ideas in your own words without distorting the original meaning and
- Cite the source in the text or in a footnote. No quotation marks are needed because these are not the exact words of another.
