CITATION
Citation Basics:
Citation Basics:
Citation means crediting information from a source that you used in your research and writing. When you cite, you are giving some identifying information about the source you used.
Citation has 2 aspects; you must do BOTH:
Rewrite ideas from the source (change words and sentence structure) OR provide a direct quotation ("...using quotes").
Give credit to the information source. You must do this even if you put the information in your own words.
A variety of citation styles exist for different fields of study. For this project, use MLA 8 citation style.
