What is a citation?

A citation is what tells your reader that you got information from another source.  This is used to prevent plagarism, recognize another author's work, and make sure that you are using accurate information.

End of text citations make up your References (APA) or Works Cited (MLA) pages.  These are the two most common citation formats used.  To learn how to use either of these formats for your list of references, click on the tabs above.
