Even if you paraphrase or put something in your own words, you still need to cite the original source.
Every sentence that includes information from a source requires an internal citation. This is true whether you are quoting information word-for-word or whether you are paraphrasing. The only exception to this rule is if the information from a source would be considered common knowledge. Ask yourself, "did I know this before I read it in my source?" or "do most people know this already?"
Save yourself a lot of time and stress - as you take your notes, it's imperative you clearly label which information is from which source.
Just like print sources, online sources are cited within the body of your paper in a way that will allow the reader to find them easily on the Works Cited. Whereas print sources like books require page numbers, online sources do not.
