Proper Citation
Correct citations perform 2 functions:
They give attribution to authors for borrowed ideas.
They allow the reader to identify a source, find it, and read it.
Whatever citation style you use, use it consistently: a journal articles will be cited the same in your list of sources, a web pages will be cited the same in your list of sources, etc.
