Citation Practices in Academic and Professional Writing

Citations do more than give credit or prevent plagiarism—they shape your voice within scholarly conversations. This workshop examines citation strategies, the common functions of citations in academic writing, and effective ways to engage with sources to build your research narrative. Participants will analyze examples from published academic articles, learn about citation functions and strategies, and practice integrating sources with purpose. Whether you’re writing a research article, a research proposal, or your dissertation, this session will help you use citations strategically to strengthen your writing.
