What is a citation?
A citation is a quote or reference to someone else’s work (such as a book, paper or scholarly work).
Why use citations?
Citations give credit to the original author, giving recognition to their work. Citations also give credibility since they provide references to published sources that can support your work.
Three examples of when to use a citation:
Quotations: specific (brief) text copied exactly from the original source used to support to your writing
Paraphrasing: putting a selection from a resource in your own words
Summarizing: compiling the main points of a larger source in your own words
