Cite

Referencing - Citing
Citing your sources gives credit to the author whose ideas or research you have used and provides the exact location for sources of information used in the text of your paper. Giving credit enables you to avoid plagiarism and inadvertently presenting another's ideas as your own. Providing the location enables your reader to verify the information you have provided or to explore your topic in greater depth.

What is citation? And why do we do it? This video explains.

EndNote
EndNote is a reference management software package, a tool used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles. You can build a personal library containing descriptions/references of sources such as books, journal articles or web pages.
There are several ways to add a reference to a library: manually, by exporting from databases/search engines, importing, or copying from another EndNote library. Associated pdfs can be linked.

More information about EndNote can be found on the Zuyd Library website.

Indicate sources with APA
In many of Zuyd's study programmes, the use of the guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA) is mandatory.
