Citation from Sources When you use information from another author's work, even if you have paraphrased, you must cite the reference in the body of the paper. The citation can be made when introducing the information or at the end of your discussion on that topic. Footnotes are not used. Failure to indicate your source is plagiarism. Last names of all authors and year of publication the first time the reference is used.
Citations appear either at the beginning of the text or at the end of the discussion.
Since the citation is part of the last sentence, a period always follows the ending parenthesis of the citation. When you directly quote from another author's works or use verbatim information, you must use a particular format. If the quote is less than 40 words, use double quotations. If it is over 40 words, the quotation is blocked. Single spacing may be used for papers other than journal articles.
