Lions and Tigers and Citations...OH MY!

As a group, we believe that citing sources is vital not only for purposes of credibility, but to also join the broader discussion in the blogosphere. We believe that by using sources that are considered respected authorities on the subjects we cover, that we will captivate the respect and attention of the internet community. On another note, we take plagiarism very seriously at UNC Chapel Hill and understand the importance of giving credit to the ideas and authors that help us build our arguments.

Throughout our blog we will be using a citation format similar to Chicago style. Our modified version will include making the numbers at the end of the sentences and surrounding them by parentheses where citations are needed. At the end of the post the citations will be broken down in the order in which they appeared. Citations referenced more than once will have the same number so that it is easier to have a clear understanding of the various citations. We believe that this modified version of the Chicago Style will make it simple for you, our readers, to verify information in an easy way that will not distract you from our posts themselves.This style of formatting will allow us to give credit where credit is due without taking away from the information that is being provided. 



...and for your visual pleasure, here's a cool pic of Chicago (:
