21 Where to Cite

Where do I need to cite? 

Where to cite

Generally, you need to cite in TWO places:

 

  • In your writing where you
    • Quote
    • Paraphrase
    • Summarize
    • Use or refer to specific audiovisual representations (data, images, tables, figures, video clips, podcasts, performances, etc.)
  • In a list of sources at the end of your paper, called
    • References (APA)
    • Works Cited (MLA)
    • Bibliography (Chicago)
    • References (Nutrition citation style i.e. the Citation Style of the ICMJE )

If you list a source only in the list of sources without citing it in the body of your text, it will raise questions about how it was used in your assignment i.e. questions of possible plagiarism.
