How do you cite?
Every source you use must be cited in 2 different ways:
- Cite works within your paper whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to another's work, you must cite the work either by parenthetical citation or footnote.
- Assemble a works cited list at the end of your paper of all the sources you cited within your paper. This list may also be called a reference list or bibliography.
You must also follow the rules of a style guide. The library has general style guides in print, and the Writing Center also has handy guides that they've created.
