To avoid plagiarism, citations must be used when writing research papers. There are two main parts for citations - in-text citations and references. In-text citations are used within the body of the paper to cite sources, while references are full bibliographic citations listed at the end. The American Psychological Association (APA) style is commonly used in the social sciences for citing sources in-text and providing a reference list.

people’s words and ideas without giving
them credit. It is a form of intellectual

employ citation guides.
