A Work Cited page is a list of resources (books, websites, and databases) that you use to write your paper.

Citing your research helps you do a few things:

• it proves that what you're saying is true since you provide evidence as proof;

• it shows that you haven't plagiarized (or copied) someone else's work;

• and it shows the reader of your paper where they can find more information about the topic you're writing about.
