QUESTION: "When you put pictures in PowerPoint slides do you have cite them?"
The basic rule is that one needs to cite everything used that is not of their own creation. There are different ways to do that.
For a presentation you can list the sources of the images on one or more slide (if you are using slides) at the end; that is, all of the references can be at the end; they do not necessarily have to be with each picture (that is, in a Presentation; in the Term Paper, each image must be identified, and the source given).
If you are doing a web site, it is acceptable to link the picture to its source (which is the system I use on most of the images for the class web pages).
You can also add a link an image in a PowerPoint slide, but, in the end, that can be very confusing when a viewer or presenter clicks on an image accidentally and is taken away from the Presentation to the web site (or other source) of the picture.
IMAGES
Have a look at the information below, and if you have any questions, please let me know.
The use of images is one of the great strengths of using WebPages. Images help explain your point, and they allow you to present information quickly, clearly and concisely. And they generally make your work look more interesting.
Identify your images with concise headings.
When you include an image, place it as close as possible to the part of the text that it illustrates. Place images in the most appropriate locations; do not simply add them at the beginning or the end of your paper.
At the bottom of each image, include the source of information and any other relevant notes. Make sure each image has an accurate title.
In your Presentation make sure each image has an accurate title. And at the bottom of each image, include the source of information and any other relevant notes, but do that part in tiny fonts.
Images help explain your point, and they allow you to present information quickly, clearly and concisely. And they generally make your work look more interesting. Number your images and include concise headings. And you must have at least one reference to each illustration . . . in the text.
When you include an image in your Term Paper, place it as close as possible to the part of the text that it illustrates. Place images in the most appropriate locations; do not simply add them at the beginning or the end of your paper. If your image is bigger or longer than fits on the page where it should ideally go, indicate its position with instructions set off by lines above and below and place each image on a separate page immediately following the inserted instructions as with the following example.
Insert Image 1 about here
At the bottom of each image, include the source of information and any other relevant notes. Do not number these notes in the same series as the content notes. Make sure each image has an accurate title.
Number your images consecutively, in the order mentioned in the text. Number figures, diagrams, and illustrations similarly, but separately.
In the text, refer to images, tables, figures, illustrations ... by their number. For example:
In the text, refer to images, tables, figures, illustrations ... by their number. For example:
"Image 1 illustrates the relationship between the femur and its attached muscles.@
". . . these correlations support the hypothesis (see Figure 1)."
CREDITS
Somewhere in your paper you should include an identification of and credits for your cover image. You can do this on the “Works Cites” or “References” page. This information is usually not included on the cover page.
