This page is the same as the home page to this site. But all of the text is written out rather than in slides.
We cite our sources to give credit to the original authors, but to also add credibility to our own research. The more credible our cited resources are, the more credible our research is.
The format of citations follow a specific grammar that condenses important information about a publication or source without ambiguity. This format, while sometimes frustrating, makes it possible for others to find your resources without unnecessary difficulties.
