Citing Your Sources Giving Credit Where It Is Due

To Avoid Plagiarism When you write the results of your research, you are borrowing the words, facts, or ideas of others. To legalize your use of borrowed material you must tell your reader what you have borrowed and from where you borrowed it. You must acknowledge this material in citations within your essay and with a list of sources on a separate page at the end of the essay.

Embedded Citations The author’s last name and the page number of the source for the quotation, paraphrase, or idea must occur in parenthesis at the end of the sentence containing the borrowed material. A complete reference should occur in your references cited list.

Embedded Citation Example One author Victims of bullying usually have problems with self-esteem (Watson 149). More than one entry by the same author add an abbreviation of the title so the reader knows the source you used. Sometimes the bullies are victims themselves (Winston, Bullied 111).

Embedded Citation Example Quotations longer than four lines are set apart from the rest of the text, not by quotation marks but by indenting the whole quote. Ex. Dr. Martin agrees that bullies need treatment but says: We have a limited number of resources for the bullying problem. So should this money be spent on the bullies, or should it be spent on the victims of bullies? In my mind you have to treat the victims and restore their self-esteem. (Martin 116)

Preparing Your Works Cited List the list should include all sources used and referenced in your assignment sources should be arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author list the author by last name, followed by a comma, and then the first name if no author, put in list by title leaving out A, The or An book or website titles should be underlined OR italicized (be consistent)
