Which feature helps you understand how to cite sources?

Knowing how to cite sources comes from having clear guidance on citation formats. This feature provides the rules and examples for different styles—APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.—showing how to format in-text citations and the corresponding reference list entries. It helps you know what information to include, the correct order, punctuation, capitalization, and how to adapt citations for different source types (books, articles, websites). By following standardized formats, you credit original authors accurately, let readers locate sources, and avoid plagiarism. A list of related articles might help you find sources, the site’s color scheme is about design, and the number of pages isn’t related to citation rules. So the guidance on citation formats directly teaches you how to cite.
