Citation is stating where you got your information.

The reasons you cite:

• To give credit where credit is due – to avoid plagiarizing
• To give information about a source so people (i.e. your instructor) can find it

You need to cite:

• In the paper (in-text citations)
• At the end (reference list)

The following APA resources will help you cite in-text, create a reference list, and format your paper.

These guides should answer most of your questions, but additional resources are available. 

There are two citation management tools you may consider using to organize your research:

• Zotero 
• Mendeley

Take a close look at them both and decide which one would work best for your research projects.
