Provide a citation when you:

1. Quote directly: use another person’s ideas in their words

2. Paraphrase: present another person’s ideas in your words

3. Summarize: express another person’s ideas in fewer words

4. Use ideas, theories, facts, experiments, case studies, from a source

5. Adopt another person’s research method, survey or experiment design

6. Use statistics, tables, diagrams etc. – not just words
