Consulting the ideas of others is at the heart of learning and scholarship. Citing them is a critical part of academic honesty. Regardless of the format and type of work, be it cartoons, artwork, prose, poetry, photography, statistical data, or Web site, give attribution to the creator/author and cite the source.
Below is a list of style manuals that stipulate how to write the citations to publications. Always consult with the course instructor with regard to which citation style to use for that course.
