Citation
A citation is a reference to a source of information, such as a book, article, or website, that is used in a written work. Citations are used to give credit to the original creators of the information and to help readers locate the sources that were used. There are several different styles for citing sources, including APA, MLA, and Chicago, each of which has its own set of rules and guidelines. Citations are typically included in the text of a paper or other written work, and a list of all the sources cited is usually included at the end of the document in a section called the “References” or “Works Cited.”
