Acknowledging+your+sources

=Acknowledging your sources = Whenever you use information or express an idea that you got from another source (like a book or a website), you must acknowledge that source. If you forget to acknowledge the source, it's like stealing someone else's ideas. This acknowledgement is called **citation **. Doing it is called **citing. ** =Citing as you go. =

=
When you use a piece of information or express an idea in your work put the name of the author, the year of publication, and the page number in brackets at the end of the sentence. =====

=
**Shakespeare is know to have spelt his own name in at lest six different ways (Bryson, 2007, p. 132). ** ===== OR, if you mention the authors name in the sentence you can do it a bit differently, like this:

=
**According to Bryson (2007, p. 132), Shakespeare is know to have spelt his own name in at lest six different ways. ** ===== =Direct Quotes =

=
I direct quote is when you write something using exactly the same words as your source. For short quotes (less than two lines), show the reader that you are quoting by using quotation marks, and citing in brackets in the usual way. =====
