citáló

Citáló refers to a person or entity that is citing or referencing another source. In academic and research contexts, a citáló is someone who includes information, ideas, or data from a previous work and attributes it to the original author. This act of citation is crucial for giving credit, avoiding plagiarism, and allowing readers to verify the information presented. The process of citing involves using specific formats, such as footnotes, endnotes, or in-text citations, followed by a bibliography or reference list.

The term "citáló" can also extend beyond academic writing. In legal proceedings, a citáló might be a party that references prior court decisions or legal statutes. In journalism, a citáló would be a reporter who attributes quotes or facts to their sources. Essentially, anyone who draws upon existing material and acknowledges its origin can be considered a citáló. The responsibility of a citáló is to ensure accuracy in attribution and to clearly distinguish between their own original contributions and the material they have borrowed. Proper citation practices are fundamental to intellectual honesty and the integrity of information sharing.
