CITE WHAT YOU FIND USING A STANDARD FORMAT
Give credit where credit is due; cite your sources.
Citing or documenting the sources used in your research serves two purposes, it gives proper credit to the authors of the materials used, and it allows those who are reading your work to learn more by reading the sources that you have listed as references. Knowingly representing the work of others as your own is plagiarism. (For details, see the Plagiarism and Copyright tabs).
Select from the tabs above for citation tools to help format/construct your citations. If you need further assistance in formatting or constructing a citation for a publication, consult the Wrtiting Center (Rm. 123), or our Librarian, John Miers.
Various fields prefer particular styles. You should consult with your professor on which style should be used for your paper.

It is the responsibility of the student submitting the work in question to know, understand, and comply with this policy. If no citation is given, then borrowing any of the following would be an example of plagiarism:
