When you do research for your papers and projects, you always cite your sources. To cite means to point to the evidence. You need to show where you found the information you used in your research.

Quoting and paraphrasing are two important concepts to learn before you write a research paper. You need to cite when you quote a source and when you paraphrase a source.  To quote means to use another author's exact words in your text. Quotes from another author should be in "quotation marks".  To paraphrase means to restate the words of another author, using your own words. When you restate another author’s original ideas in your document you don’t use quotation marks - but remember, you still have to cite your source!
