Citations

Citations, aka, references give credit to others for their work and ideas and allow readers to track down the original work if they choose.

Whenever you use someone else's words or ideas in your paper or presentation, you must indicate that this information is borrowed by citing your source. This applies to written sources you've used, such as books, articles and web pages, as well as other formats, such as images, sounds, TV/film clips, and DVDs. Failure to cite such sources may be considered plagiarism. Avoid distress and embarrassment by learning exactly what to cite – the who, what, where and when of your source!

For help with citation, please see the UBC Library How to Cite Guide

As of September 2015, AAA style (for all publications) follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition.

• Chicago Manual of Style online or in print
• Chicago Manual of Style (Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab))
