Citing is giving credit to the sources you used in your research product (whether that's a paper, a poster, a PowerPoint...). You give credit in two ways: a bibliography or works cited page, and through in-text citations.

//When....//

Here are some basic guidelines of when to cite:
 * When it's not your idea.
 * Which includes direct quotations ('...")
 * And paraphrases (when you put it in your own words. It's STILL not your idea).
 * And summaries (when you put a lot of words into a few words. STILL not your idea).

So....
 * You'll have an in-text citation for //each//idea you use that isn't yours.
 * You'll have at least the same number of in-text citations as you do total sources.
 * You'll have a list of your sources at the end, formatted in a recognized style, such as APA, MLA or Chicago/Turabian.
