Metacognitive Analysis #3

Citing is very important for many reasons. Firstly, because when you cite you show the reader that you have taken information, pictures,or ideas that belong to somebody else. Secondly,  by citing you avoid plagiarism, which is considered a very serious offence. Thirdly, when you cite you give credit to the real authors. Finally, you give the reader the opportunity of going back to the sources.
