It is important for everyone to know how to integrate sources properly both in academia and the work environment. When it is about academia, consequences can be very serious if caught doing plagiarism. Whenever using lines from someone else’s works, it is absolutely necessary to use it within quotation marks. It indicates that the words taken are somebody else’s and that person should be given the due credit. Proper citation needs to be provided for paraphrased words as well. Even when paraphrasing, it is essential to give the due credit to the original author that is done by providing proper in-text citation and main citation.
