I'm working on a series of self-published guidebooks aimed at teaching tech skills for people who aren't tech literate. My only prior experiences writing nonfiction have been research papers for classes, so I'm not entirely familiar with when it's appropriate to cite a source in this scenario.
I understand that I need to cite something if I'm quoting it, or used it as a part of my research; however, I'm uncertain what under what situations I wouldn't cite a source.
For example: Would I cite a source if the only time I used it was to fact-check something I already knew?
