This page is just a placeholder.  I think this is probably an area for which we'll want to create a complete site.

Citations are an important part of the scholarly conversation. They...

• demonstrate the research path someone took to develop an idea
• help to relate that idea to readers.

Citations also offer leads for researchers to follow to other pertinent information sources.

• When you directly quote someone else
• When you reference another person's ideas
• When you outline someone else's argument or line of reasoning
