How do I format citations?

Citing any materials you consult in your research is a key element of academic writing. Through references, footnotes, and bibliographies, you acknowledge the researchers and authors whose work helped shape your ideas, document the range of materials you've consulted, and provide the information your readers need to find your sources. UNB Libraries provides a range of manuals, guides, examples, and other tools to help you cite your sources correctly.
