Citation Guide

A quick guide to citations in footnotes!

It is important that you are consistent in your use of either short or long citations throughout your essay. In either case, you are required to cite the works used fully in the bibliography. Note that page reference must be given for all quotations from and summaries of statements in books, articles and other sources.
