Click on:The tab labeled “Citations”
Answer the two anonymous poll questions on the left side.
Objectives for today:
1. Define what a citation is and determine why it is useful
2. Describe the most commonly cited information and present several examples of citation styles
3. Compare citation styles and differentiate between them
4. Examine a variety of resources available to students conducting research and connect students with those resources
5. Show the basic breakdown of a citation and identify its components
Citations tell the reader that
the material or information
in a work
comes from another source
and allows the reader to find
the original source of that
information again.
CI·TA·TION
(plagiarism.org)
Most common information cited
Author information
Title of the work
Location and name of publishing company
Date published
Specific location of published material(page numbers, website, archival location)
So why should I be citing sources?
To show the amount of time and research you invested in
your project!
Citing from sources outside of yourself helps to bolster your argument
or the point of your project.
It allows someone to find the original source in case they
have questions or want to do further research.
By citing your sources, you can allow others to fact
check and compare statistics or data.
I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.
-Christina Magnifico
-Mark Twain
-Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince and Other Stories
But when do I cite something?
ALWAYS
Especially when you…
- Directly quote someone- Use a concept or idea from someone else- Reference another work or project- Are heavily influenced by another person’s work- Paraphrase someone
IT IS CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM IF
YOU DO NOT CITE A SOURCE
Ok, ok…So how do I cite?
