You may use outside resources in your report. These can include professional articles from the Ensign College Library, reports from library databases, studies, charts, graphs, and so on. However, as with any copyrighted material, you must cite the material properly in your report. Here are some pointers for using copyrighted material:

• You may insert into your report individual charts, graphs, and tables that were included in any articles or reports. You may not use all the charts, graphs, and table from a report, but you can use a selection of all charts, graphs, or tables from a report. You must cite the reference of the report they came from.
• You can excerpt individual quotations, sentences, and paragraphs from any reports, articles, and so on, but you must include them as a quotation within your report and provide proper citation for them.
• You may paraphrase in your own words any page, chapter, or the entire report as long as it is in your own words, but you should still cite what you are paraphrasing.

Put simply, do not plagiarize! You must cite references for outside sources which are included in your reports or presentations. For more information on properly citing your work, please visit (Owl PurdueLinks to an external site.).
