The Faculty of Health Sciences EDI Style Guide is to be used by learners, staff, and faculty to make communication with diverse audiences more equitable and inclusive. The guide provides advice on how to engage with issues concerning race, gender, and sexual orientation, among other intersecting identities.
Citing sources is an important part of your research.
It documents what sources you have used in writing your paper, gives credit to the author's work, and gives the information needed to identify and retrieve the cited sources.
Different disciplines or courses use different citation styles, so confirm with your instructor which style you should use.
For a quick introduction and overview to citing and citation managers, the library has created the following video: Citing and Citation Management: Tips and Tricks from Queen's University Library
APA Style (American PSYCHOLOGICAL Association)
Turabian Style
Used in many disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences and is a variation of the Chicago style
Vancouver Style
Used in the health sciences disciplines
Always cite materials or output generated from an AI tool in your assignment, journal article, etc. However, do not refer to the AI tool as the author of that material or output.
Refer to the Style Guide (e.g., APA, MLA, IEEE, etc.) for the proper formatting of citations for AI tools and AI generated materials.
A summary of these formats can be found in the Artificial Intelligence Guide.
There are many different citation managers available for your use including Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote.
For more detailed information please consult, Queen's Library guide to citation managers.
