Help with Citing Sources
This page contains guidelines and example citation formats that will help improve your comfort level with citing outside sources within your academic work (term papers, projects, productions, etc.).
| When in doubt--ask your instructor: Precise expectations and techniques for citing sources can vary within different course assignments and academic disciplines. The safest strategy is to carefully cite any and all outside sources you rely upon within your own academic work. |
