How to Cite & Reference Sources
Citation is a way of giving credit to individuals when you use their words or ideas to support your research. Citations have enough information that a reader can find the exact source you used. Typically, this citation information includes the author's name, publication date and other source information.
Citation styles are standardized ways to format citations. The citation style will determine exactly what information is necessary for a citation and how that information is presented, including punctuation and other formatting.
