1. Academic citation is your friend. If you’re ever in doubt about whether or not you need to cite, you should probably cite.
2. Just because you can cite quoted texts, quoted texts should not make up the majority of your writing. Minimize direct quotes.
3. There are several styles of citations with one for each major area of research even though most often we use APA. Endnote is another friend because it can reformat your bibliography to fit these styles.
