Most social science classes will require you to use APA style to format your in-text citations as well as your list of references. Sometimes you will also be asked to format your paper according to APA style, so be sure to double check with your instructor if you're not sure what you're being asked to do.

Avoid plagiarism

Remember in addition to direct quotes you also have to cite your sources for:

ideas (unless they're your own)
summaries
paraphrases
facts that aren't "common knowledge"

There are even methods for citing class discussions and personal communication like interviews and email.

Don't take shortcuts--when in doubt, cite!
