 CITATION OF SOURCES

Citation- A citation identifies for the reader the original source for an idea, information, or image that is
referred to in a work. In the body of a paper, the in-text citation acknowledges the source of information used.
At the end of a paper, the citations are compiled on a References or Works Cited list. It gives proper credit to
the authors of the words or ideas that you incorporated into your paper. It allows those who are reading your

work to locate your sources, in order to learn more about the ideas that you include in your paper.

There are two ways on how to present your citations

1.In-Text Citation - This is an insertion of a citation within the text itself. It usually has the last name of the
author and the date the source was published. The in-text citation follows the format used in citation, depending
on the type of research.
2.References\Bibliography – This a comprehensive list of sources, which is found at the end of articles. This
part of the book or journal article is called references, bibliography, or work cited. All the references listed here
should be cited within the text and vice versa. Similar to in-text-citation, this also follows the format used in
citation, depending on the type of research.
