Citations and reference lists

Citations indicate that ideas in your writing are not yours. They direct the reader to where the original ideas were written. We use them to help the reader:

(a) check that you interpreted the other work correctly,

(b) get more information on the topic, or

(c) accept that you have read quality articles in your field and are a sufficiently qualified to write about the topic.

You must cite any idea that is not yours, even if you are paraphrasing or summarizing what was written. You should put quotations " " around any set of 4 words or more in a row that come from someone else's work. In both cases, you should put the page number(s) as well.

There are many styles of formatting your references. MLA and APA are two of the more common, but there are also Chicago Style, Harvard Style, APPS style, and almost every academic journal has its own style guide. You will need to learn how to arrange your citations and references into the correct style for whatever you are writing for.

This project introduces MLA style to undergraduates taking English Writing with me; and it introduces APA style to undergrads taking English Essay Reading and Writing with me.
