Citing Your Sources

Referencing is an essential aspect of academic honesty.

By including citations and references in your work you are:

• giving credit to the author of that information

• showing that you have used a range of relevant, reliable sources.

MLA (short for the Modern Language Association) is the default formatting style for referencing at Stamford.

MLA requires in-text citations, NOT footnotes. (Note that footnotes may be used in MLA if you are providing extra or explanatory information, not citations.)

For more information about MLA, visit the MLA website, go to Purdue OWL or check out the Utica College LibGuide.
