What is a citation?
As students prepare their projects, a clear and concise bibliography needs to be included at the end of the document.  To help you and the student understand the proper format it has been provided below for your use.
 
What is a citation?
A citation is used to document sources. To document sources is to give credit to the author whom you are quoting or whose ideas you are using. Footnotes and Bibliography entries are types of citations.

Footnotes appear at the bottom (or "foot") of a page and refer to statements in the text on the page. Footnotes show the source of information or give additional information. In most cases, the piece of text and its corresponding footnote are linked by a number. Footnotes are numbered consecutively in any single piece of work. The number appears at the end of the piece of text, slightly above the line (superscript). The same number is the first item in the footnote.

A Bibliography lists all the sources used during the preparation of a piece of work such as a report. Bibliographic entries usually include more information than is given in footnotes. The bibliography appears at the end of the work.

There are several standard formats for footnotes and bibliographic entries that vary slightly from one another. The formats given here will be appropriate for most nontechnical writing. Always use the format specified by your teacher, publisher, or employer. Whatever format you use, use it consistently in any single piece of work.

(The following footnote examples are appropriate when the work will include a bibliography. If there will not be a bibliography, include all the bibliographic information in the footnotes. Underlining can be used if italicized type is not available.)
