Why Cite My Sources?

Students and scholars cite their sources to

- provide readers more information on the topic

- provide evidence of serious scholarly thinking

- demonstrate academic honesty

Your bibliography will be included after your paper, but that does not mean that you will do it last. Keep track of your sources as you go along! Otherwise, you may end up having to recreate your research to locate the sources you used originally. 

What to cite?

You must cite:

  • an author's ideas, logic and analysis
  • original facts
  • data that is not common knowledge
  • unique wording
