Justice Studies (UNH Durham)

Resources and strategies to serve as starting points for research in the Justice Studies program.

Citation Styles

Citation styles often vary by discipline. Since Justice Studies is multidisciplinary, the citation style you are asked to use may vary by course. Using a citation management software such as Zotero or ZoteroBib can help you switch more easily between styles - two widely used styles are APA and Chicago.

Why Cite?

To avoid plagiarism, a form of intellectual property theft.

Avoiding Plagiarism

What is plagiarism?*

  • Plagiarism is using or submitting intellectual property, ideas, or evidence produced by another person without giving credit to that person.
  • Please note:
    • That person may be AI.
    • That person may be you (yes, you can accidentally plagiarize yourself!).

Avoid plagiarism! When using someone else's work, remember to:

  • Clearly indicate and cite when you are summarizing, paraphrasing, or quoting another person's work.
  • Give credit to the original author (or yourself, or AI) by citing their work - both in text and in your reference list.
