Editorial Review:
In his bestselling guide, Doing Honest Work in College: How to Prepare Citations, Avoid Plagiarism, and Achieve Real Academic Success, veteran teacher Charles Lipson brought welcome clarity to the principles of academic honesty as well as to the often murky issues surrounding plagiarism in the digital age. Thousands of students have turned to Lipson for no-nonsense advice on how to cite sources properly—and avoid plagiarism—when writing their research papers. With his latest book, Cite Right, Lipson once again provides much-needed counsel in a concise and affordable handbook for students and researchers. Building on Doing Honest Work in College, Lipson’s new book offers a wealth of information on an even greater range of citation styles and details the intricacies of many additional kinds of sources.
Lipson’s introductory essay, “Why Cite,” explains the reasons it is so important to use citations—and to present them accurately—in research writing. In subsequent chapters, Lipson explains the main citation styles students and researchers are likely to encounter in their academic work: Chicago; MLA; APA; CSE (biological sciences); AMA (medical sciences); ACS (chemistry, mathematics, and computer science); physics, astrophysics, and astronomy; Bluebook and ALWD (law); and AAA (anthropology and ethnography). His discussions of these styles are presented simply and clearly with examples drawn from a wide range of source types crossing all disciplines, from the arts and humanities to science, law, and medicine.
Based on deep experience in the academic trenches, Cite Right is an accessible, one-stop resource—a must-have guide for students and researchers alike who need to prepare citations in any of the major disciplines and professional studies.

This may be a good reference book for those who have a working knowledge of this subject, but buyer beware, that's all it is.
In the instructions regarding my first essay assignment, the professor said to "use MLA or APA." Having no instruction in English over the past 36 years, and no idea what this meant, I looked it up on the internet and ordered this book. In the second chapter: "The Basics of Citation," there is no mention or explanation of basic elements that must be entered into ... Read More

This helpful book came at the right time, and in great condition for the price. I will be using it the rest of this semester and next!
Thank-you for doing business with me.

Rating:  - amazing book
This is definitely the best book I read regarding citation styles. It's nicely written, self explanatory, extremely well organized.
Rating: - I love this book!
The examples are clear and make it easy to understand how to use each reference style. I use APA in grad school and MLA as a teacher, so having both styles in one book is very helpful to me. This a a solid guide to ALL citation styles. If you don't want to buy all separate guides, this is a good way to go. It is the perfect book for a college or master's level grad student.
Rating: - good basic all-around reference
I like this book a lot. I'm a mid-life returning graduate student who's halfway through my program. Although I have the APA Manual, I still refer to this book for APA as well as MLA and legal citations. I like the fact that it lists in-text and works cited together so you can see how to cite within the body of your writing and at the end. A very worthwhile book to have on your reference shelf.
