Explanation:

Plagiarism can be defined as the act of representing or using an author's work, ideas, thoughts, language, or expressions without their consent, acknowledgement or authorization.

This ultimately implies that, plagiarism is an illegal act of presenting another author's intellectual work or copyrighted items by using their ideas, thoughts, language or expressions, word for word without authorization or permission from the original author.

Hence, in order to avoid the charge of plagiarism, it is very important and necessary you use citations. The two (2) main types of citation are;

I. Works-cited list: it is the same thing as a reference and are placed at the end of a literary work.

II. In-text citations: they are inserted into the body of a literary work i.e within the body of the texts using parenthesis.

One important thing that citations show a reader is that the information is well researched.

This simply means that, citations are references or links to all of the sources from which an author, writer, or researcher got his or her information from.
