Citations allow researchers to give credit, to show their work, and to demonstrate that their claims are supported by evidence. You are expected to cite the sources of information you use in a paper or project, whether you quote a source directly or summarize what you learned from it.

Citations are an important part of academic integrity at UPEI. Visit the Academic Integrity Portal for more information and to access relevant policies and tutorials.

Step 1

Article Databases are available through the Library's website for both on-campus and off-campus access. Off-campus users will be prompted for their UPEI username and password. Note that in addition to providing references to articles, some of the databases include the fulltext of articles.
