Academic Citation Resource Guide
Aside from adhering to the standards of academic integrity and properly crediting authors for their work, citing resources is important for another reason. It allows others to locate the materials you consulted for their own research or knowledge. Unfortunately, when it comes to citing sources, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, the citation style you use depends on the academic discipline you are researching within. To assist you, we’ve searched the Web to find the most helpful resources. Whether you’re using APA, MLA, CMS or some other major citation style, this Ultimate Citation Resource Guide has you covered via 40 links to style guides, FAQs, tutorials, quizzes, sample papers, and tools to make your citation and research processes more streamlined.
