Did you know that using data you've found to make your own graph and then not citing the source is plagiarism? Unless you did the study or experiment to collect the data you are using, you need to give credit for the source of the data.

If you are giving a formal presentation, you need to give credit for the information used on your sides or in your speech.

  1. The answer would have been helpful with an explanation of how to cite a graph or chart that was made in excel with external data.

  3. How about used data for a graph. If the data source is a table in a report of an organism (but in which is written that the source is the Ministry of Agriculture). Should we credit data to the organism or the Ministry? Answer: you should cite the source of the information along with the graphic, yes.
