Citation, Plagiarism & AI: Citation

Watch this short video for a basic introduction on citation and plagiarism:

When do I have to cite?

• When quoting text directly from a source.
• When you reword or paraphrase sentences or phrases from a source.
• When summarizing a particular idea or argument.
• When using facts, data, or information from a source.
• When using information or text written by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool, such as, ChatGPT.

If you are unsure, check with a librarian or your instructor.

Always proofread the citations from a generator to check for errors, such as punctuation, capitalization, or dates.
