Why citations matter

Gives credit to authors whose works you have used (whether you quote them or not).
Provides a trail by which others can locate the materials you consulted. Your colleagues may want to learn more about your topic-- help them out by providing accurate information about the resources you used.
Scholarship is a conversation; your works cited list maps that conversation for others.
Provides evidence of your research.
Properly citing materials is one strategy to help you avoid plagiarizing.
