In virtually every research paper you write, you'll be required to list your sources on a References page, also called a Works Cited page or a Bibliography. You'll be required to format per a style, e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago or Turabian, and to footnote concepts and opinions of others within the body of your paper, usually in what are called in-text or parenthetical references. These tools help you format any/all such citations.
