HCOL 2000 B: Imitating Nature - Vigoreaux (Fall 2023)

There are several major citation styles. 

 Ask your professor for specific citation style requirements for your class.  Be sure to be consistent in the citation style you use.

UVM Libraries provide guides for the major citation styles:

• APA (American Psychological Association) Style
• Chicago (and Turabian) Style
• MLA (Modern Language Association) Style
• Scientific Style (CSE Style)
• Additional Style Guides and Resources

There are many reasons why it is important to cite the resources that you consult when doing research.  The most important of these are:

• Gives credit to authors whose works you have used (whether you quote them or not).
• Provides a trail by which others can locate the materials you have consulted.
• Provides evidence of your research.
• Properly citing materials is one strategy to help you avoid plagiarizing.

What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism is using another person's work without giving them credit.

At UVM plagiarizing, whether intentional or by accident, is a violation of the  Code of Academic Integrity (PDF).

Easy ways to avoid plagiarizing:

• Never cut and past material into a paper.
• Always cite your sources.
