Proper citation of sources is essential for academic writing and research articles. Failing to give proper credit can result not only in a poor grade, but also can be deemed as plagiarism, a serious academic offense. To avoid these pitfalls, be sure to cite any and all information in your paper that goes above and beyond your own original thoughts. This includes information gained in person-to-person interviews.
