I'm pretty sure, not everyone that sneak-peek into this blog knows about source materials. source materials are the sources or places where you got any information or ideas. in other words, it's the materials that you used as references or guidelines in your writing.
In our writing, everything that we take from a source without paraphrasing the sentence must be cited. This is a crucial step where you can prevent yourself from involved in plagiarism activity. Otherwise, you can be accused to be involved in plagiarism activity and you will receive several bad impacts from this.
