Why do we cite?
When you cite you:
give credit to the author
enable others to locate the resource that you cited
improve the credibility of your work, especially if you cited authoritative sources
help avoid plagiarism
If you use other people's ideas without properly giving them credit, you are committing plagiarism, which is a serious NSU honor code violation. Read more about NSU's plagiarism policy here.
