Keep track of your sources as you research.
Don't forget that many databases have citation tools built in!
Write down information about your sources as you find them. Include the article title, the author, and information about the book or journal such as volume or publisher.
Citations contain information about any work you have used in your research that is not your own.
The information that you will include in a citation will most often be the same no matter what style you are using; the information will just be listed differently.
