By citing, you can avoid accidentally plagiarizing, or taking credit for the work or ideas of others. It also makes it easier for your audience to find the source you are discussing, if it sparks their interest. Whenever you are quoting or summarizing another work, you should always cite it. There are many different citation styles. The most common are MLA, APA and Chicago style. If you are uncertain which citation style to use for your paper or project, ask your professor which one they prefer.
Most databases will cite a source for you! Below is an example of the "Cite" option that shows up once you choose an article, book, or other source from one of our databases.
While citation generators are helpful, remember that they are still imperfect! Therefore, you must still proofread and correct any mistakes before adding a citation to your project.
