Jack isn’t sure if he needs to cite the source of the information below. He found the fact online.

“Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president.”

What should Jack do?


Cite the source.

This means he will:

(1)Either:
a)Surround with quotation marks, or
b)Put the quotation into his own words, changing the syntax, structure, & organization
(2)Include a lead-in giving the source’s name,
(3)Give the page number, and
(4)List the source in a bibliography

Do not cite the source.

This means that the information is a commonly reported fact. It is generally known and available from many sources.

(1)Jack should verify the information in at least two sources, then
(2)Jack will write the well-known information in his own words.
