             3.7.  Intellectual Property



             Intellectual property (or IP for short) refers to creations
             of the human mind (also known as the “intellect”) that

             are a non-physical (or intangible) form of property.
             Just like physical (or tangible) property, intellectual

             property is something that people can own. Intellectual
             property is the original expression of an idea that later

             becomes something tangible.

             It is important to cite sources you used in your research for several reasons:



            •  To show your reader you have done proper research by listing sources you used to
                get your information.
            •  To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to other researchers and

                acknowledging their ideas.

            •  To avoid plagiarism by quoting words and ideas used by other authors.
            •  To allow your reader to track down the sources you used by citing them accurately
                in your paper by way of footnotes, a bibliography or reference list.
