"WHAT TO CITE? You should cite all direct quotations, paraphrased factual statements, and borrowed ideas. The only items you don’t need to cite are facts that are common knowledge, such as the year of the first U.S. stock market crash.

However, if you present facts in someone else’s words, you should cite the source of those words. In addition, if you paraphrase large amounts of information from one source, you should cite that source, as emphasized in the following guidelines from sourcing expert Gordon Harvey:

"When you draw a great deal of information from a single source, you should cite that source even if the information is common knowledge, since the source (and its particular way of organizing the information) has made a significant contribution to your paper ...

Failure to give credit to the words and ideas of another author is plagiarism. Most people don’t intend to commit plagiarism, but may do so inadvertently because they are in a hurry or because of sloppy work habits." (HBS, p. 5)
