When you use information from a source, you must say where you got it by ending the sentence with the author's last name in parentheses. If no author, include the title of the article instead.
Example:
Saudi Arabia is not as large as the United States with only 823,000 square miles ("Saudi Arabia").
You will have many in your paper. If you fail to put these in your paper, it is considered plagiarism.
