ECON 472: Writing, Citation, & Referencing Skills

It is extremely important to cite ALL references.

Why?

• Academic Integrity
  • avoid plagiarism (i.e., copying of someone else's work, thoughts, etc.)
  • Policy 71 (http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy71.htm)
  • https://lib.uwaterloo.ca/gradait/ (for grad students)
  • https://lib.uwaterloo.ca/ait/ (for undergrad students)
• Finding references again

It is extremely important to cite all references, both within your paper and in the bibliography, correctly.

For your Senior Honours Paper, it is recommended that you use Chicago Style Author-Date System.
