Cite Them Right by Referencing is providing information on the sources that you used in your research. To ensure that your research has integrity, your sources must be credible. The original information must be easy to find to verify your statements and conclusions.
In-text Citing: short information in the body of the text.
References: Section at the end of your work with full information of works used to write the essay, to enable the reader to find the original source.
Bibliography: Strictly speaking is a list of any works read or consulted during the research, or any works recommended by the writer for further reading on the subject.
Citation Generators can be very useful. They allow you to generate references automatically. They also provides guides for some styles: APA, Chicago, Harvard and MLA, for example. They offer a higher level of services for a subscription but the basic levels are free.
