Welcome! This Guide is designed to teach students when to cite sources in research papers and how to avoid plagiarism. There are many interactive tutorials, videos, and websites dedicated to this topic that will help students learn how to write academic papers and attribute ideas appropriately. If you are ever in doubt about what or how to cite, please ask your instructor, the writing center or Ask a Librarian!
YVC students have access to Credo Instruct Modules.
