Why We Cite!



It is not unheard of for college students to completely BS assignments. However, the articles we post on this blog are completely BS-less. We cite our sources to show you we aren’t making up the material and have credible sources. Stealing of any kind is immoral, even for students in an academic environment. We all know it’s easier but we should always give credit where credit is due. Also, if you guys are really interested in the material, you can follow up on our research and learn more for yourselves!
When we can, we will make key phrases a hyperlink to the website we used for our research for that part of the article. This should make it easier for you guys to visit the websites we used while writing the post-. However, some of our research will be taken from paper sources and secured websites. To make our blog look more appealing to you guys, we will post citations to these sources as a comment underneath the post. This saves room and makes transitions between articles and posts smoother. We cite with standard MLA, including parenthetical citations. We chose MLA because most college age people tend to be familiar with it.
