What is it called when you cite your sources?

When you cite your sources, it's called giving credit or attributing. More specifically, the act of providing the specific information about the source is called citation.

Here are some other terms related to citing sources:

* References: A list of all the sources you used in your work.

* Bibliography: A list of all the sources you consulted, even if you didn't directly cite them in your text.

* Footnotes/Endnotes: Citations placed at the bottom of a page or at the end of a document.

* In-text citations: Brief citations embedded within the text of your work.

It's important to cite your sources to avoid plagiarism, which is the act of using someone else's work without giving them credit.
