The use of images is natural in PowerPoint so that the slides have a much more professional impact and the images are key to this since they give a global idea of what we want to represent. But we must take into account an important aspect in the use of PowerPoint images that are not created by us or are not from our organization should be referenced by copyright issues. These citations should generally contain the following syntax:
"Name", "year", "Title", "Type", "Taken from"
These are taken from the APA standards, but some images may use a different format depending on the type of license to use.
