So you've found and selected sources - now what? The next step is to integrate those sources into your assignment. You do this in order to give strength to your argument and to demonstrate to your instructor that you are knowledgeable about the topic. Integrating a source also means using another author’s writing to help build your credibility. Just be sure to cite everything you use to give credit to the authors who inspired and informed your work.
