When writing a thesis, research paper, news article, etc, it's common that you need to quote someone else, because they have paraphrased what you are trying to say in a suitable or memorable way. When you cite someone else’s ideas, research conclusions, statistics, or unique information, it's important that you always cite the source and give its authors credit for their ideas and work. If you use the same words as the original author (or authors) it is called a direct quote and you must communicate this to the readers.
