CSU-ENG 403 What is citation? (part 1)

What is citation?

•Citation (n.) 1. A quotation from or reference to a book, paper, or author, esp. in a scholarly work
•Broadly, a citation is a reference to a published or unpublished source (not always the original source).

A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again, including:

•information about the author

•the title of the work
•the name and location of the company that published your copy of the source
•the date your copy was published
•the page numbers of the material you are borrowing

Why should I cite sources?

•Giving credit to the original author by citing sources is the only way to use other people's work without plagiarizing. However, there are a number of other reasons to cite sources:

•Citations are extremely helpful to anyone who wants to find out more about your ideas and where they came from.

•Citing sources shows the amount of research you've done.

•Citing sources strengthens your work by lending outside support to your ideas.
