What is citation?

A research project will include facts, opinions, quotations, and images taken from a variety of print, non-print, and electronic sources. Citing sources is providing select information about each source used for a project.
 

Why do we cite?

• to give proper credit for words, ideas, graphics, or other information you borrow from others
• to help readers find sources you used in case they want to read more from those pieces for themselves
