This guide will link you to citing styles for many disciplines

Citing

To be a responsible researcher and writer, you should always cite your sources. Citing:

  • Shows your reader that you know about your topic;
  • Gives credit to others by acknowledging their ideas;
  • Helps you avoid plagiarism by quoting others' ideas and words; and
  • Allows others to use the same sources you do.

Help

If you need help, you can make an appointment with a librarian who specializes in your citation style.

For quick questions, you can chat with a librarian at your primary library.
