Why Do We Have to Cite
Elements of a Cited Work
Use the elements of cited works to compose a list of references at the end of your paper so that readers can retrieve the items you mention in your text.
For example, if you mention the book Ghetto at the Center of the World: Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong by Gordon Mathews in your text, you must document this source.
