Suppose you want to use someones exact words
If you use someone elses exact words, you must
use quotation marks and then reference. Plasma
etching is the only commercially viable procedure
for removing material from surfaces. (taken from
a book) Plasma etching is the only commercially
viable procedure for removing material from
surfaces.10 10. M. Lieberman, in Principles of
Plasma Discharges

Or, use your own words (paraphrase) and then
reference It has been said that only plasma
etching is commercially viable for the removal of
material from surfaces.10 10. M. Lieberman, in
Principles of Plasma Discharges

When dont you have to give credit?
When something is general knowledge (i.e., given
in every textbook), then it is not necessary to
reference. Ex Silicon is a Group IV
semiconductor. Light has both a wave and a
particle nature. Every modern computer has an
operating system. World War II ended in
1945. Paris is the capital of France. F m
