Citing What You Find
After you've evaluated the web page and decided that it's something you want to use in your research, your final step is to cite the page correctly.
What’s a Citation?
A citation is a reference to the source from which you have drawn a quotation, an idea, or information. A citation offers enough identifying information — such as the title of the work, the author, date of publication, and publication information — for a reader to be able to locate the original source of your information.
