Core Writing - CORE 1500

You get your research assignment from your professor and they require that you cite your sources. Maybe they want you to use APA or MLA, or some other style like Chicago, AMA, or ASA. What does this really mean? 

Citing yours sources...

• Adds to your credibility and supports your ideas!
• Helps your reader find the sources you reference to read for themselves
• Ensures the accuracy of scientific and scholarly knowledge
• Protects and acknowledges intellectual property rights

When should you cite? 

• Direct Quotations: When you use the author’s exact words
• Paraphrasing: When you summarize someone else’s words or ideas
• Facts: When you mention something that is not common knowledge
• Images: When you use pictures, charts, and graphics that someone else created in a presentation 

EndNote Basic -- save your sources (web pages, scholarly articles, books, etc.), choose a citation style, select sources from your account, and create a works cited or references page in APA, MLA, Chicago or another citation style.

Important Note -- Citation generators are error-prone, so be sure to proofread! Double-check spelling, capitalization, and punctuation to be sure the official style (MLA, APA, etc.) required for your assignment is followed.
