Editing In-text Citations & References

Citations are used to acknowledge the use of information from another source in your paper. This lends credibility to your written work by supporting or validating statements without committing plagiarism. It is important to accurately cite all the source materials that have contributed to your work to avoid unintentional plagiarism. For instance, plagiarism can inadvertently occur when you fail to cite your sources correctly, such as inconsistent citations or incorrect (or absent) placement of quotation marks in quoted material. It is easy to make and overlook mistakes in the in-text citations and references, especially in lengthy documents with many source materials. You should, therefore, take time to scrutinize your citations before submission to ensure they meet your style guide requirements. Some of the common mistakes that students make while citing sources are:

Punctuation, capitalization, and italicization errors
Incorrect use of the ampersand (&) and “et al.” in the in-text citations
Including initials of authors in the in-text citations or their honorifics in references
Inconsistencies between in-text citations and references
Missing information in the reference list entries or footnotes
Improper layout of the reference list entries or footnotes
