academic citations

Academic citations are a way for scholars to give credit to the sources of information, ideas, or research they use in their work. By citing these sources, researchers demonstrate the credibility of their work, allow others to track down original materials, and avoid plagiarism. Citations typically include details like the author’s name, publication date, and title of the work. This practice not only supports transparency and accountability in research but also contributes to a shared knowledge community, where ideas are built upon and acknowledged appropriately.
