Citation is listing information about works such as books, magazines, or other things that you've used to create a paper, website, or other project.

Citation can also be called citing sources. Citing sources is a way of giving credit to the copyright owner for a part of a work that you may have used in your report. Citing a source helps make sure you are using the work fairly.

A list of works that were cited in a project can be called a reference page, a works cited page, or a bibliography.  In this lesson, you will make a works cited list for your report on video games.
