Citing Your Sources

When you incorporate another person's words or ideas into your own writing, it is important to cite your source. Citations:

  • Give the original author the credit they deserve
  • Point your reader to the original work, in case they'd like to consult it themselves
  • Strengthen your assignments, by supporting ideas with research
  • Show the evolution of scholarship on a topic over time

Chicago Manual of Style Citation

Langara's Department of History, Latin & Political Science uses the Chicago Manual of Style for citation.
