It’s important to cite your research because not many people will trust your opinion or fact if it’s not justified by real support. You want to make sure that the websites you are working with are not biased or opinionated. You can make sure a webstie isn't biased by telling what the ending URL is. If it's a ".gov", ".mil", ".org" or ".edu" they are trusted websites that are paid for by the government, military, educational purposes and non-profit organizations. How will the reader know if it’s real facts that you are presenting them with? You can do this by pasting the web address that you used for your research in your report so that your teacher or whoever is reading your essay/article can trust the information you’re providing them with.
