Self-plagiarism is taken seriously throughout the academic community. When you cite a source, you are using an expert’s ideas as proof or evidence of a new idea that you are trying to communicate to the reader. Distinguish your analysis of what you’ve read from the authors’ analyses.Refer to your sources to support the ideas you have developed.Show that you have a clear understanding of the material you’ve read.Essentially, your instructors are asking you to do three things: the vast majority of assignments you’ll get in college, your instructors will ask you to read something (think of this material as the building blocks) and then write a paper in which you analyze one or more aspects of what you have read (think of this as the new structure you build). The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill offers a useful analogy for thinking about using sources: A citation acts as an indication of where ideas and information is coming from, so that your reader can retrace the steps you took in gathering your research if they are interested in learning more about your topic. Simply put, not citing a source is unethical because you are passing someone else’s ideas and research off as your own.
#WRITING CENTER DEPAUL MANUAL#
Chicago Manual of Style Online (DePaul Users Only).CMS/Turabian (Typically for History and Art History disciplines).APA (Typically for disciplines in the Social Sciences).MLA (Typically for disciplines in the Humanities).Here are helpful resources to use while formatting your essay and citations: Your reader will not know what the in-text citation is referencing without the complete citation located in the Works Cited/Reference page. One way to think of citations is as a map: your essay is the map, the in-text citations are the locations, and the Works Cited/Reference page is the legend. It is also important to note that citing a source is a two-step process: you must include both the in-text citation as well as the Works Cited/Reference entry for the source. Citation styles have a tendency to change over time (to accommodate new mediums, such as YouTube and Twitter, and accommodate changes in how we access sources), and therefore it is important to use the most updated style guide when citing sources. Once you have determined the best style guide for your purpose, you should locate a credible, reliable resource to use as you write. Sometimes your professor will explicitly state which citation style to use, while in other instances, it will be up to you to determine the most appropriate style.
