The Big Picture
When you add a source to your bibliography, you are linking your own credibility to that of the source you are citing. You are saying to the reader, “I have done research and concluded that this person is a credible source on this topic.”
Sometimes, people become too obsessed with the mechanical details of a particular citation style (e.g., MLA vs. APA) while overlooking the big picture. Citation mechanics are important, but you should always start by thinking about the following questions:
- Who am I citing?
- What is this person’s background? Are they a qualified source in the context of my claim?
