When to Cite a Source

Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to the work of another, you are required to cite its source, either by way of parenthetical citation or by means of a footnote, as well as a complete reference in a bibliography. Offered here are resources for some of the most commonly used citation styles.

When to Cite a Source

You should use evidence (citations) any time you make a claim that is not based on a well-known fact or common knowledge.

•You make a claim that could be challenged.
•You quote somebody.
•You make a specific claim that is not common knowledge.
•You paraphrase information from a source (give the meaning but change the wording).
•Offer an authoritative (expert) opinion.
•You got an idea from somebody else, even through email or conversation.

TS: Facebook isn’t fair to its users.

For Example, Daniel Bates in the 28th of September edition of the Daily Mail reports that Facebook “has been watching the pages its members visit, even when they log out.”

This shows that Facebook is spying on its users, even when they are not on the Facebook website.

This also shows that Facebook can’t be trusted.

In Addition Daniel Bates goes on to report that “data has been regularly sent back to the social network’s servers—data that could be worth billions” when they decide to sell it to the highest bidder.

This shows that Facebook routinely collects data on the members of the site, and what’s more, according to the Daily Mail article, Facebook only corrects “such matters when they are brought to light by other people.”

In other words, Facebook will keep violating one’s trust until they are forced to stop. This drives home the point that users who trust Facebook to act in an honest and forthright manner are deluded.

Facebook should be called Spybook.
