Citing/Saving Sources

  • Carefully citing sources is a part of being a responsible and collaborative scholar.
  • Clearly formatted citations and works cited pages help readers identify the work and ideas that you drew upon in order to inform your own ideas.
  • They also allow your reader/audience to efficiently find the sources you mentioned if they are intrigued by your research and would like to learn more about a source you've mentioned.
  • Please consult this page of the library website for more information about citing/saving source: https://library.usfca.edu/citing-sources
