In informative talks,

research, and different


kinds of presentation, you
may need to include
facts, statistics, and other
important data.
In such cases, you need
to tell your audience or
your readers where you
got those important bits
of information. That is
what we call “citing
sources.”
Citing a source means
that you show, within the
body of your text, that
you took words, ideas,
figures, images, etc. from
another place.
Citations are a short
way to uniquely
identify a published
work (e.g. book, article,
chapter, web site).

How to cite sources?
CTTO which means
“credit to the owner” is
primarily used when
people share photos or
videos or posts that were
not taken nor made by
them.
Some people use it but
the credit is not actually
given because the source
is not named. It is still
proper to name the
source to give the credit.
The most commonly
used format of citation
is APA or the American
Psychological
Association format.
The basic components of an APA
citation or reference:

Author’s last name, initial. Date


published. Title of source.
Location of publisher (if
print)/Retrieved from URL (if
online)
Note how each bit of information is
separated by a period.
