Citing source

When you cite a source, you give credit in your writing for using someone else's words, ideas, figures, or images. .


Citations are like a unique code for a book, article, or website. They help people find the source of information. You can usually find them at the end of a book or article.


Citations have important details that help identify and locate publications, such as:

  • Author name(s)
  • Titles of books, articles, and journals
  • Date of publication
  • Page numbers
  • Volume and issue numbers (for articles).

Citations can appear in various formats and styles, depending on your citing and the guidelines you follow. Make sure to use the correct style guide for your specific requirements.
