What is important is that you understand what information you need and where to go when you are not sure how to cite a source or how to format your paper. Use the links to our style guides above to find more details about the particular expectations of each style. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="line-height:107%">If you have more questions, you can book an appointment with our <strong><a href="https://libcal.nwpolytech.ca/appointments/writingsupport" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline"><span style="color:#0563c1">Writing Support Specialist</span></a></strong> or one of our <strong><a href="https://libcal.nwpolytech.ca/appointments?lid=27&g=689" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">Research Librarians</a></strong>, who will be happy to help clarify things.</span> </span> </span> </span></span></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="s-lg-col-2" class="col-md-9"><div class="s-lg-col-boxes"><div id="s-lg-box-wrapper-19620386" class="s-lg-box-wrapper-19620386"><div id="s-lg-box-16614391-container" class="s-lib-box-container"> <div id="s-lg-box-16614391" class="s-lib-box s-lib-box-std s-lib-floating-box"> <div id="s-lg-box-collapse-16614391" > <div class="s-lib-box-content s-lib-floating-box-content pad-left-none pad-right-none"> <div id="s-lib-ctabs-16614391" class="s-lib-jqtabs"> <ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist"> <li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#s-lib-ctab-16614391-0" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" tabindex="0">Why citation matters</a></li> <li role="presentation" ><a href="#s-lib-ctab-16614391-1" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" tabindex="-1">Inclusive Language</a></li> <li role="presentation" ><a href="#s-lib-ctab-16614391-2" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" tabindex="-1">Using Microsoft Word</a></li> <li role="presentation" ><a href="#s-lib-ctab-16614391-3" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" tabindex="-1">Using Google Docs</a></li> </ul> <div class="tab-content"> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="s-lib-ctab-16614391-0"> <div id="s-lg-content-36674907" class=" clearfix"> <h2><strong><span style="color:#185a7d;">Why Citation Matters</span></strong></h2> <p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="line-height:107%">There are three significant reasons that you should care about proper citations (aside from receiving marks):</span></span></span></p> <ol> <li style="margin-left:8px"> <h3><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#d41367;"><span style="line-height:107%"><b>Avo</b></span></span><span style="color:#d41367;"><span style="line-height:107%"><b>id plagiarism by giving credit to the original author</b></span></span></span></span></h3> <ul> <li style="margin-left:8px"> <p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="line-height:107%">Plagiarism can have serious consequences, including receiving a zero on your assignment, a zero in the course, or being expelled from the polytechnic.
