In some instances you may not need to cite sources. Such as informal writings or if the quote/piece of information is universally known. In most instances it is required of you to cite sources. This is usually the case for most essays and papers you will need to write.

Good Luck xoxo

Answer: It is generally not okay to not cite sources in academic and professional settings.

Explanation: It is always important to give credit to the original authors and ideas when using their work in your own writing. Failure to cite sources can also lead to confusion and misunderstandings about the source of the information presented.
