The importance of citing

The importance of bibliographic citations is fundamental since it is practically the only means to give credit during the preparation of a text.

When an author of a popular science text puts together his bibliographic citations, his arguments acquire greater force and his readers realize what his speech will point to.

The question of the quotation is fundamental in the field of human sciences, such as history, sociology and science. psychology: there, most of the contributions are deepening or broadening of points of view that have already been dices.

The bibliographic citation is the only way to make it clear for the author that what is elaborated is not his own but that he extracted it from another place. The Intellectual Property Law requires the citation so that the author of the cited text cannot proceed in legal form against whoever cited it, because by that means it is safeguarded by having clarified that the elaboration is not own.

In addition, whoever makes a bibliographic citation should not answer to anyone for the content of the citation, precisely because it was not he who wrote it.

It is because of this value of bibliographic citations that different institutions have developed criteria for the organization of these citations. One is from the American Psychological Association (APA citations), another from the Modern Language Association (MLA citations) and another very important that of ISO standards, aimed at publishers of texts.
