When using sources, like books, journal articles, and websites, for your research you must give credit to the original author. You can do this by properly citing the information using a specific citation style. Citations have purpose for not only giving credit to the creator but also allow readers of your work to find the source of the information used. There are many different citation styles depending on the area your research focuses on. This guide will provide information on a few types of citation styles along with links for resources and citation tools to help you manage as you write.
