When to cite references in a science research paper or assignmentWhen to Cite References in Scientific Research Papers:

Any time (and every time) you use a fact or an idea that you obtained from that source.

Cite sources for all direct quotations.

Cite sources from which you paraphrase or summarize facts or ideas—whether you’ve put the fact or idea into your own words or not, you got the fact or idea from somebody else and you need to give them proper acknowledgement (even if an idea might be considered “common knowledge,” but you didn’t know it until you found it in a particular source).

Citing References in MLA formatFor our zine, list the author in parentheses after the sentence cited or quoted.

Ex. …acidic oceans.”(Jones)

If more than one page in the source, list the author and page number in parentheses after the sentence cited or quoted.

Ex. …oceans.”(Jones, p.2)
