Academic communication is different from every day conversations.  Thus,  it is important that  as a writer you  show the  readers  that other people have contributed to your work by presenting evidence of sources consulted.  Documenting and sharing academic research with acknowledgement of other researchers contributions is an  important aspect of  knowledge sharing practices of academic integrity which distinguishes academic discourse.
