Citing Your
Sources
Citing
sources properly is an important part of your research. The following list
of tips may help you with your citations:
-
Confirm with your
professor the style manual you are to use.
-
Make sure you have
all the information you will need from each source to create a proper
citation, including data such as publication information from the front of
books, journal volume/issue numbers, and page numbers for articles and book
chapters. You can use
RefWorks, an online citation manager to store your citations and create
reference or work cited pages.
-
Plagiarism is a
serious issue, which includes presenting the work or ideas of another
individual as your own. Keeping careful notes while researching your
topic will help you to properly give credit for an idea or passage you came
across.
-
Read the
"Student
Guide to Avoiding Plagiarism: How to Write an Effective Research Paper,"
prepared by Sandra Rhoten, Associate Dean, Judicial Affairs,CSUF.

Attend a
Citation Workshop at the
library to receive basic instruction on proper citing.
