Lacerte Family Writing & Academic Resource Center
Citation Tips
For a thorough definition of plagiarism and its consequences, consult the College plagiarism policy.
The graduate writing tutors at the Lacerte Family Writing and Academic Resource Center are trained to provide assistance to students needing help with summarizing, paraphrasing, and citing sources. We encourage students to make an appointment with a writing tutor if they are unsure about, or having trouble with, any of these issues.
In addition to the services, Emerson College provides two helpful online guides for proper citation:
- The Emerson Iwasaki Library maintains a comprehensive Citation & Styles guide online.
- Giving Credit, A Guide on Why, When, and How to Cite, is a guide produced and maintained by Graduate Studies, the Instructional Technology Group, and the Emerson Iwasaki Library.
For further citation assistance, read the Using Sources to Prevent Plagiarism document.
