PHED: Personal Health and Wellness: Cite your sources

Where do I get the information for my citations?

• From the work itself
• In the library catalog
• In the research database

Many of these sources have citation helpers, but you cannot trust that the formatting is correct; always double check it yourself!

When do I cite?

Always use citations when:

• quoting directly from a source
• including statistics or other factual information
• paraphrasing or summarizing an author's main idea
