Plagiarism (pronounced: play-juh-riz-um) is the act of taking someone else’s words, ideas, or information and passing them off as your own. If you have questions about how to cite your sources or what style you should use, remember that you can ask your professor, teaching assistant, advisor, or a librarian.
Go to the Citation Management and Formatting Tools page for more information. Go to the More Style and Writing Guides page for more information.Ĭitation management systems, like RefWorks or Endnote, are extremely useful for keeping track of, organizing, formatting, and sharing your reference lists. For further examples or more detailed assistance, you may need to refer to a complete writing and style guide. On each page, there are some basic examples of items you might be citing. Using the pages of this guide, you should select the citation style appropriate for your field of study. There are various styles for citing sources you will most likely find that you will need to use one style if you are writing a paper for a literature course and a different style if you are working in the sciences or social sciences.
There are many reasons why citing your sources is important, and you must cite them in order to avoid plagiarism. Academic or scholarly work requires a bibliography, which may also be referred to as a works cited page, a citations list, or a reference list. When you are writing a paper or doing research on a topic, you must cite your sources. Welcome to the NYU Libraries Citation Style Guide.
