There are two approaches to sourcing, depending on the complexity of the author’s citations. If the article has just a handful of sources that are cited sparingly, you might just include them in the body of the article and just use a “Citations” section at the end of the document. If there are '''many sources''' that are '''cited multiple times''', you should have a “Citations” section and a “Works Cited” section and use the '''shortened footnotes''' approach. Most articles will use the latter approach. | There are two approaches to sourcing, depending on the complexity of the author’s citations.

Please note: some articles, particularly creative pieces, transcripts, and some essays will not cite any secondary sources. If this is the case, then this section on sourcing may be skipped. | |||
