I am currently writing a term paper on the economy of Germany and I am curious about how to properly cite and show the sources I used. Would it be plagarism if I didn't cite anything within the text and just ended up showing the sources instead on the bibliography page? The instructions kind of throw me off... here's what it says...
"7. Cite your sources and include a bibliography page. You may cite sources within the text, as footnotes, or as endnotes."
Would this mean that I don't have to source in the text and can do it just at the end? I'm not the most versed when it comes to citing sources in certain formats, so any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Just at the end not enough. You must show what sections are based on what sources.

If you state conclusion in your own wording, then no footnote is needed, but it would just be your conclusion. Your teacher wants more. You backup your conclusion with sources. If you use direct quotes or data these need to get footnoted. With this type of assignment the more research you can show you did the better. List every book, magazine and Internet site you looked at in bibliography.

i think it means you can place little numbers or key words in the text but leave the whole source out of it... but on the bibliography next to corrosponding number
you deffinatly want to cite things on the page, it can be considered plagiarism to only have a bibliography at the end, although most highschool projects are structured this way anyway.

You need to cite your sources in the text of your paper. The in-text citations refer the reader to the full reference in your bibliography.

I you are in elementary school and early high school, I would say no do not cite in text because it say may. But if you are an upper class man in high school or in college yes you must cite or it will be plagiarism. But just to be safe always sit in text. Because if they taught you how in school you are expected to use it from that point on (Usually).
