Citing sources used in your research is important:

• it shows your readers/instructors that you've done your assignment properly by listing sources you used to get your information
• it is respectful of other researchers ideas by acknowledging their work
• it helps you avoid plagiarism, which is a serious academic offense
• it allows your readers/instructors to easily track down the sources you used for further inquiry 

Although there is no one standard citation style used at WCJC, many disciplines use the same standard style. Be sure to:

• Ask your instructor which style they prefer for the course.
• Consult a style guide for examples of creating in-text citations and citing sources used at the end of your paper.
• Be consistent with your chosen style throughout the paper.
