ACCT 425:The Capstone Project Assignment

Tools and Resources for Citing Your Work

Note: Correct citations must be provided for all contents used in this assignment.

Citing your work correctly is very important. Failure to cite correctly will be considered plagiarism, which carries serious penalty. Please see the "Academic Honesty" section of the University of Delaware student CODE OF CONDUCT.  

The Library has tools and guides to assist you with citation in many formats such as APA, MLA, etc. See the Research Guide: Citing Your Work.

However, you should always check to make sure they are correct as they are machine generated and mistakes can happen! Generally, when you find an article in a database or in DELCAT, look for Cite, Citing, etc. on the tool section to find the citation.

There are also many freely available tools for creating citations. Here are some good tools:

If you need further assistance with citation, contact a citation expert at the Citing Your Sources page. You can also contact any Librarian at the staff page, or you can chat with a librarian on duty via the Ask the Library Services.
