What does it mean to document a source?

say you got the information from someone else
write down exactly who wrote the information and where it comes from
give the name of the person who originally wrote the information
use information that is commonly known

Respuesta :

The answer would be B: write down exactly who wrote the information and where it comes from

Documenting a source is another way to say Citing a source. When you cite a source you are telling where you got the info and who was the author of that info. When you don't cite a source that is called PLAGIARISING. Plagiarism is illegal and in most schools, there are huge consequences. So, when you use info that is not yours, make sure to cite it :)

Hope that helps!
