All sources should be cited in a bibliography or reference list and in the body of the text of a research paper. Citations give credit to the the author as well as enable other researchers (or your instructor) to locate the cited item. See Academic Honesty and Plagiarism for more information about what to cite and why.
To assist in creating your bibliography and works cited pages and in managing your sources, you can
use RefWorks. 
The links below are meant as a guide in creating your reference list or bibliography. For definitive guidance on how to cite your sources you should consult the print manual or the organization's on-line guide.
For the most complete information on how to cite sources, consult the print manuals, generally available at the Reference Desks or in the Reference Collections of the Bartle, Science or University Downtown Center (UDC) Libraries:
