Honest, ethical, academic work is expected at all levels of higher education. See the Academic Misconduct section of the online Student Handbook published by the UWM Dean of Students Office.

Here is a selection of useful websites and tools that provide guidance in properly citing sources in various styles, such as MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.

Note:  Before using any of these, make sure to check with your instructor as to which tools, if any, are either required or not allowed to be used for your specific assignment.
