Citations, in the research world, have nothing to do with traffic tickets. Instead,
citations identify published information - print or electronic - in order to locate that
item again. Citations of articles often include the author, title, magazine or journal name,
page numbers and publication information. Citations of Web documents also include a URL and
the day the information was accessed.
The list of the sources you used when researching your paper is called a bibliography.
The bibliography allows others who read your work to verify facts or research the same
information more easily. These sources are listed in citation format and follow an
established style, such as MLA (Modern Language Association), APA
(American Psychological Association) or Chicago Manual of Style.
