It is important when doing a research project to give credit where credit is due. If you didn't write something don't claim it for your own. Taking another person's work and calling it your own is cheating and when specifically related to writing called plagiarism.
When looking at sources and taking notes it is important to write down the general idea (main idea) the piece of writing is trying to communicate. If the information is very factual - numbers, statistics and such you may use the numbers found in that source but you must give credit to your source.
