There are lots of resources on the web for citing your sources within a research paper. There are many styles and formats for citing papers depending on the discipline. Science has a different format from Language Arts and Humanities as do the Social Sciences. When citing your sources you may either use the CBE (scientific) approach to citing information or the MLA format. I have provided both examples here. The most important thing is that you give credit for ideas where credit is due.
