In the case of needing an image or information from others, we must give credit to the author by placing its source in such a way that when clicking it directs us to the site where the original information or image is located.
This is an example of how to cite the source of information taken from an author, placing the text in quotation marks and mentioning the author plus its source that will take us directly to the original page where it came from. information extracted.
