To summarize, attributions and citations are important because:
They help others find the information that you used.
They help establish the credibility of your own research.
They connect your work to the work of other scholars, and it is one way that scholars enter into a conversation with each other.
Ethical attribution and citations are an act of justice.
It is a way to honor and acknowledge the work of others who have made your own research possible!
