To avoid plagiarism, you will need to cite your sources: you will need to provide enough information about a source so that anyone can be able to find the exact item. The necessary information varies according to the type of publication you use.
As you do you research, remember to create a list of sources that you use with all of the citation components for the particular kind of source.
For a book, you will need:
- author(s) name
- title of book
- publisher
- place where book was published
- copyright date or date of publication
For a print article, you will need
- author(s) name
- title of the article
- title of the publication in which the article is included
- volume number
- issue number
- date of publication
- page numbers of the article
For an electronic version of a printed article, you will need
- the same as the print article, plus
- the access path or database name and the date you accessed, printed or downloaded the article
- name of the library or personal subscription service
For a web page, you will need
- author(s) name (if available)
