You will always need to cite your sources when:
- When you quote two or more words verbatim, or even one word if it is used in a way that is unique to the source.
- When you are introducing facts that you found in a source such as a book, magazine, website, or journal.
- When you paraphrase or summarize ideas that are not your own.
- When you are using an image such as a photograph, infographic, or drawing that was made by someone other than yourself.
- When you use factual information that is not considered common knowledge.
