 WHAT IS CITATION?

CITATION
The way you tell your readers that
certain material in your work came from
another source.
It also gives your readers the information necessary to
find that source again, including:

Name and
Information location of the
about the Title of the company of
author work source
publication

Date your Page numbers

copy was of the material
published you are
borrowing
 Why should I cite sources?

Helpful to anyone who wants to find out

more about your ideas and where they
came from

Proper citation will keep you from

taking the rap for someone else’s bad
ideas

Shows the amount of research

you’ve done
Strengthens your work by lending
outside support to your ideas
Doesn’t citing make my work seem less original?

Not at all. On contrary, citing

sources actually helps your reader
distinguish your ideas from those of
your sources. This will actually
emphasize the originality of your
own work.
When do I need to cite?

• Whenever you use quotes

• Whenever you paraphrase

• Whenever you use an idea that someone else has

already expressed

• Whenever you make specific reference to the work of

another

• Whenever someone else’s work has been critical in

developing your own ideas.
