Citation Guidance
Citation is an important step in your research process. Adding citations to your work helps you avoid plagiarism, provides credibility for the claims in your paper, and shows the reader where they can learn more. APA is the most common citation style for social work research, but always double check your assignment or ask your instructor if you have questions about which citation style to use. Below, you'll find some useful resources for citing in APA style.
If you want more information about citations, check out our Citation Guide or contact your librarian for questions.
