Social Work Research: Cite Your Work/Refworks

It is extremely important to cite ALL references to uphold academic integrity and avoid plagiarism. The University of Waterloo has provided the following resources for your information: 

• Policy 71 - Student Discipline
• Graduate Students and Academic Integrity 
• Orientation to Academic Integrity for First Year Students
• Academic Integrity Module

A style guide describes a specific format for citing material, to which you referred in your work.  Be sure to check with your instructor for the preferred style for your assignments.

APA Style (American Psychological Association) is a commonly used style in the social sciences.  Borrow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association or use one of the online help guides below.
