in academic work it's important to cite your sources
if you use any text,
charts, photos,
graphs,
diagrams,
ideas,
or anything else that you did not create, whether you summarize the information or
quote it directly
use appropriate citations to avoid plagiarism
to cite your sources
place in-text citations within your paper
using either the author name and date format or number format
and place full citations at the end of your paper
the format if both will depend on the citation style you use
many different citation styles exist
if your professor pr TA did not specify a particular citation style or citation
manual ask them which one to use
or use the library citation guides web page to select one
