information provided in a footnote or bibliography of a written work such as a book,
article, essay, report, oration or any other text type, specifying the written work of
another person used in the creation of that text.

When conducting research, it's essential to include references to support your arguments,
findings, or claims.
Examples of References

Academic Journals

Examples include journals like Nature, Science, The New England Journal of Medicine, etc

Books

Depending on your topic, books can provide in-depth analysis and background information.
Look for books written by reputable authors and published by established publishers.

Government Publications

Government reports, white papers, and statistics can be authoritative sources of information,
particularly for topics related to public policy, economics, and social sciences.

Websites

While websites can be useful sources of information, be cautious about their credibility. Stick to
reputable sources such as government websites, academic institutions, and established
organizations.

attribute sources.

passage to show where the quote begins and where it ends. Make sure to include an
in-text citation.
