The two best ways to give proper credit when using someone else's work are:
-
Citing the Source: Include a clear citation that provides information about the original creator, title of the work, date of publication, and any other relevant details in the appropriate format (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).
-
Obtaining Permission: If the work is protected by copyright, obtain permission from the original creator or publisher before using their work, particularly for larger excerpts or reproductions.
These practices help ensure respect for intellectual property and acknowledge the contributions of others.
