Citing Sources: Chicago Manual of Style

If you use someone else's ideas in your paper you must document the sources, whether you provide a direct quotation or merely included ideas from something you read. Citing sources gives credit to the authors for their ideas and allows other people to find and explore the sources you consulted and quoted.
