How to Properly Cite Works and Avoid Plagiarism
Introduction
Education extends beyond formal learning, incorporating insights from interpersonal engagements and personal research. Life is a continuous learning journey, with new ideas emerging from the articles we read, the lectures we attend, and the research we conduct online.
Why Cite Works?
If you wish to express ideas alongside your personal thoughts, it’s crucial to credit the original creators. Failing to do so results in plagiarism. To prevent plagiarism, always record where specific information originated. Regardless of the citation style used, every citation includes essential components: Author, Title, Title of Periodical (if available), Volume (if available), Page(s), and Date. To streamline this process, create an organizational template to note these details as you gather research.
Styles of Citation
Various citation styles exist, tailored to different research fields:
- MLA Style: Commonly used in college research, especially within the humanities.
- APA Style: Developed by the American Psychological Association, this style is prevalent in the social and behavioral sciences, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, business, and education.
- Chicago Manual of Style: Popular in the publishing industry and also known as Turabian style.
- CBE Style: Based on guidelines set by the Council of Biology Editors, predominantly used for science research papers.
Tips for Efficient Citation
When writing a research paper or article, view the Works Cited page as integral to the paper, not as an additional task. By organizing citation details during the research phase, you can save significant time when creating your bibliography.
By following these guidelines and implementing effective citation strategies, you can enhance the credibility of your work and maintain academic integrity.
