 In informative talk research, and different 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 that information.

 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, website.
