Citing sources can help students avoid plagiarism but why else is citing important, and how does someone learn to cite sources correctly? What role do ethics and equity play in citing a source? In this workshop, we will demystify the process of citing in university and share practical information about topics such as understanding when to cite, using different types of citations, navigating complicated style guides, and making the best use of helpful tools and resources. This session aims to help you learn to think critically about the sources you encounter and feel more confident in your writing! Bring your citation questions to ask at the end.
In this workshop participants will:
- Become familiar with the different purposes of citation and when citation is appropriate.
- Understand how style guidelines are used in different subject areas.
- Learn to define citation justice and consider how it impacts their research and writing practices.
