Biology 120 - Environmental Science: Citing Sources

This tool, developed by a Calvin College student, helps you format MLA, APA, or Chicago style citations.

Print handouts with sample citations for the most common types of sources to have handy while you work on your paper.

Plagiarism can be intentional and obvious, such as buying or copying a paper.

Plagiarism can be unintentional, such as:

• Forgetting to use quotation marks on a quote
• Forgetting to cite a source
• Using too many words from other sources and not enough of your own words
