Citation Help

When you are writing research or other types of papers, it is important to give credit to books, journal articles, web sites and other sources of information you used to create your paper. If you fail to cite the sources you used, it is considered plagiarism. Citing your sources also allows someone reading your paper to locate additional information related to your topic.

The resources below are tools to help you create and manage your citations.
