Citing references

Citing references is an important part of academic research because: References acknowledge the contribution of the work of others and their place within the area of research.

In-text and end-text citations

A source is referenced in two parts:

- In-text citation: in your text at the point of use.

- End-text citation: in a reference list at the end of your paper.

A document excerpt displays an academic paragraph discussing perceived discrimination, with multiple author–date citations highlighted within the text. Below the paragraph is a references section listing full bibliographic entries, and arrows label the highlighted citations as “In-text citations” and the reference list as “End-text citations,” clarifying how sources are cited within and at the end of a paper.

A pop-up selection window lists citation results for an article titled “The Race Discrimination System,” including the journal name and publication details. One result is highlighted to indicate selecting the correct article from the list.
