Refer sources correctly: Citing

  Citing

Introduction

Step 1: Know when to cite

Step 2: Choose citation styles

Citing sources gathered during your research helps you build your argument. Including graphics or other creative expressions can illustrate a point or add impact to your project. Incorporating the work of others is acceptable in academic writing, but you have a responsibility to let your audience know when you are using someone else's ideas and where you found that information.

This module will help you cite the information sources you used to avoid plagiarism. 

After completing this module, you will be able to:

• Select an appropriate documentation style.
• Cite sources correctly.
• Post permission granted notices for copyrighted materials.
