Citing NCpedia articles
Researchers and writers provide citations for the material they have used, and most NCpedia articles contain references for the resources used by the authors. Citing sources is important! It allows other readers and researchers to see where information originated. Citations also give credit to other researchers for the work they have done.
There are many different citation formats including the Chicago Manual of Style, the Modern Language Association (MLA), and the American Psychological Association (APA). These styles are commonly used and many teachers ask their students to use these.
NCpedia content uses the Chicago Manual of Style citation format. Citations for NCpedia content are automatically generated for each page. These automatically generated citations can be found at the bottom of each page. Some pages do not have as much information (author, date, etc.) as others, so citations may vary. For more information, please consult the images located in the side panel of this page.
