As students, researchers, or professionals, we often rely on information from many different sources — books, journals, websites, and now even AI tools such as ChatGPT or Perplexity. While these tools can be very powerful, it is our responsibility to use them ethically and acknowledge where our ideas and information come from.
Citations are not just about avoiding plagiarism. They are about showing respect for the intellectual work of others, strengthening the credibility of our own writing, and ensuring that we contribute to the academic community with honesty and professionalism.
