What’s the difference between a citation and a reference?

Citation is a specific source that you mention in the body of your paper. A citation tells the readers where the information came from. In your writing, you cite or refer to the source of information.

The basic elements of the citation that you need to include are: Name of the author(s)Year of publicationPage number or page rangeIf you quote a source directly you must include the exact page number in your citation or it is incomplete.

ReferencesThis is a list of the sources you have cited. A reference gives the readers details about the

source so that they have a good understanding of what kind of source it is and could find the source themselves if necessary.

The references are typically listed at the end of your paper.

Every source that is listed in your references also needs to be cited in the body of your paper.


The three main types of in-text citation are as follows.1. AuthorIn-text citation is done by an introductory and/or parenthetical citation providing:– the last name of the author, and– page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken, if applicable.2. Author–dateIn-text citation is done by an introductory and/or parenthetical citation providing:– the last name of the author, and– the year of publication from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken, and the page number, if applicable.3. Numbered footnoteIn-text citation is done by:– superscript note numbers that come after the referenced passage, and after the final punctuation mark, if used, and– corresponding footnotes placed at the bottom of their page of reference containing all referencedetails from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken; when using a source for a second or subsequent time, a shorter footnote reference is sufficient


Quotation

Citing printed sourcesAuthor Carroll points out that “deliberate breaches form a relatively small proportion of dishonesty cases whereas up to 80% in most years involve misuse of others’ work through plagiarism or collusion” (2).

Author– date Carroll reminds us that “deliberate breaches form a relatively small proportion of dishonesty cases whereas up to 80% in most years involve misuse of others’ work through plagiarism or collusion” (2012: 2).

Works cited

Works Cited Page: Basics

Authors' names should be entered in the following format, no matter the type of publication you are working with.

Single author: last name first, first name, period

Smith, Michael.

Multiple authors: The first author's name is written last name first, but subsequent author names are entered with first name first:

Thompson, David, and Petra Richards.

If, however, there are more than three authors, only the first author's name is listed along with the Latin phrase "et. al. (meaning "and others"):

Thompson, David, et. al.

No named author: If the author is unnamed, as is typical in an encyclopedia entry or on an internet page, for example, leave the author's name off of the entry, and begin the citation with the title of the work.

Authors

Book Citations

The author's last name followed by the first name, then the title of the article followed by the title of the book or larger work in which the article or other short work is found, followed by the place of publication, the name of the publisher, and the date of publication.
