Why do we cite sources?
- Your professors want to make sure you're using reputable, credible sources.
- If people want to examine the data you use, they need to know where to find it.
- If people want to trace the origins of your argument, they need to know where your ideas come from.
- Authors whose work you use appreciate being given credit.
- If you don't cite your sources, you could be accused of plagiarism.

The Chicago Manual of Style by
Call Number: Z253 .U69 2017ISBN: 9780226287058Publication Date: 2017-09-05This seventeenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style offers updated guidelines on electronic workflows and publication formats, tools for PDF annotation and citation management, web accessibility standards, and effective use of metadata, abstracts, and keywords. It recognizes the needs of those who are self-publishing or following open access or Creative Commons publishing models. The citation chapters reflect the ever-expanding universe of electronic sources--including social media posts and comments, private messages, and app content--and also offer updated guidelines on such issues as DOIs, time stamps, and e-book locators. Other improvements are independent of technological change. The chapter on grammar and usage includes an expanded glossary of problematic words and phrases and a new section on syntax as well as updated guidance on gender-neutral pronouns and bias-free language. This edition continues to reflect expert insights gathered from Chicago's own staff and from an advisory board of publishing experts from across the profession. It also includes suggestions inspired by emails, calls, and even tweets from readers.
