High School: Citing

Whether you choose to quote, summarize, or paraphrase sources in your research paper, you must cite each source you use. For rules and examples, look here:

• Citing References: APA Style (7th ed.) (PDF) - (UW-Whitewater libraries)

• APA Documentation Guide (7th ed.) - (Writing Center, UW-Madison)
• APA Formatting and Style Guide (7th ed.) - (Online Writing Lab at Purdue)

Sometimes students will use online citation formatters provided free on the Web or within a library database. If you use one of these online formatters, remember that they are not foolproof. You will need to review your citations to make sure they are correct. This Citation Helper Tools guide may have some tools you can use. The library supports both Zotero and EndNote, which are very useful when using many sources.
