CITING YOUR SOURCES
Documenting all of the resources used in the development
of your work is an important part of research. The purpose
of citing sources is to give weight and substance to your
findings and to give credit to the authors of these sources.
To cite properly, you must provide complete bibliographic
information according to an established format.
