A citation allows you to give credit where credit is due.

In general, a citation follows the form of, Who said it? What was it called? When was it published? Where/Format.

  • Who posted this?

  • Where was it posted?

  • When did you access it?

  • Clues for which platform

  • Some sort of footnote or citation is better than nothing.

Let's talk about footnotes:

  • Dunn, Mark. Ibid: A Life in Footnotes. San Francisco, CA: MacAdam/Cage Pub, 2004. Print.

From the IB Guide for Effective Referencing & Citing:

Numbered footnote In-text citation is done by: – superscript note numbers that come after the referenced passage, and after the final punctuation mark, if used, and – corresponding footnotes placed at the bottom of their page of reference containing all reference details from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken; when using a source for a second or subsequent time, a shorter footnote reference is sufficient.
