Citation Guides

When you write a term paper or research project, you must cite your sources. If you paraphrase material or describe someone else's ideas, you must cite the original source even if you do not quote it directly.

Different subject areas follow different conventions in citing sources. Ask your instructor if you don't know which style to use, then consult the appropriate guides:
