Citing Sources

Don’t plagiarize!

Whenever you borrow an idea, thought, image, word, song, or anything else not yours from a source you are using for research, you must give credit to the source from which you borrowed the information.

Some basic information you will need in order to create a citation of a source:

  • Title of the source
  • Author of the source
  • Publication date
  • Website address (if online)

Here are two websites you can use to help you correctly cite a source you used for research:
