Citation

When writing a research paper, it is important to document every quotation, paraphrase and idea.Besides creating a "Works Cited" page at the end of your paper, you also need to carefully cite the sources you are quoting or paraphrasing within your paper.

Everything needed to identify and find a text, whether an article in an online journal or a manuscript poem, is found in each bibliographic citation. Whatever the bibliographic style, include author(s), title and subtitle, source (journal or book), page numbers, date; for monographs (books) the place and name of the publisher are also used. Catalogue and database records contain the information you need.

Each discipline uses its own method of documentation or citation style. Professors may recommend different styles. There is no single correct form, but it is essential that consistency be observed in all entries.
