Elements of Style - Information to collect from your Sources

The pieces of information to cite a source properly change very little from citation style to citation style.  If you plan to use a source in your paper, you will need to keep track of :

  • Title(s)
    • For articles both the Journal Title and Article Title
    • For websites both the title of page and title of the webpage
  • Authors
  • Year
    • plus volume and issue number for articles
  • Pages
  • Publisher for books
  • URL (Website Address)
  • Your own notes
    • Indicate where you found it and why you are going to use it. Write down page numbers for direct quotes.
