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)

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

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.

• Cite Sources: Learn the correct way to cite sources by using these guides, tutorials, and videos.
• Referencing Webinars: APA & MLA. Referencing Webinars are 75 minutes long.  Registration is required.
• Online Appointments: Personalized online 30-minute appointments with a Learning Strategist.
