- use the Cite tool in Start Your Research (see box below right) to get a citation for any article you use,
- check your citation to make sure it is correct! Use the Purdue OWL, the APA Style Blog, or the Citation Style Guide, and
- watch the video in the center box for information about how to paraphrase without plagiarizing.
Note: not citing your sources is plagiarism - a kind of theft. For more information, look at the lower boxes.
