Enlarge your ideas – Achieve a greater understanding of your topic and what others have to say about it – “interact[ing] with the scholarly community surrounding your topic” (IVCC Stylebook, “Documenting Sources”).

Refine your ideas – Make your essay more insightful and credible – “Without sources, the essay shows only your interpretation of the topic” (IVCC Stylebook, “Documenting Sources). – “to support your ideas” and to “show that other scholars share your perspective” (IVCC Stylebook, “Documenting Sources”).
