Citation checklist
- Identify exactly which source supports each borrowed idea.
- Use the year that matches the reference entry.
- Distinguish your interpretation from the source’s findings.
- Add a precise locator when quoting.
- Check repeated citations for clarity rather than leaving the source of a paragraph uncertain.
Use the linked official examples for cases involving the same author and date, ambiguous author groups, or personal communications.
