Answer:

The most important factors for an appropriate citation are 1.- In case the reader wants to learn more about the topic discussed, he or she can find more information about it by looking for the resources you used, and to identify the author. 2.- To provide enough academic evidence and background to build a strong posture or text with enough value. 3.- So your posture has strong arguments and it can’t be discarded so easily.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first place providing a proper citation will help the reader to get a source of knowledge so that he can deeply analyze the topic, and to provide the proper acknowledgment to the knowledge producer. In the second place, because when you elaborate a text based on an author's Idea your posture takes a second level of value, it becomes stronger and it’s pretty difficult to consider it weak, thanks to the academic rules and procedures considered to créate and publish research papers. In third place, because when you recover information from a certain specialist on the topic, your posture gains a stronger reach of truth and to demonstrate it is invalid they have to false that specialist studies and research products.
