Citation Basics

Every time you use a quotation or fact or idea that comes from your research, you must provide a citation to show where that quotation, fact, or idea came from.

Your citation will have two parts:

1. In-text Citations

2. Works Cited Page

The In-text citations give a small amount of information right after the quotation or paraphrase in your essay. The Works Cited page should be on a separate page (unless your instructor tells you otherwise), and includes a detailed list of all the resources you used.

Works Cited page

Your Works Cited page should have entries for each resource you have used. Include detailed information on each resource, in the correct format.

More information on creating entries for your Works Cited page can be found from Purdue University's OWL:
