There are many reasons why it is so important to cite the sources you use in your research.
Every time you refer to a resource in the text you must provide an in-text citation or a footnote/endnote depending on your citation style.
If you use an article more than once there should be multiple citations in the text.
There are many different "styles" you may choose from when citing sources. Your professor will probably tell you which "style" is preferred for your class. MLA (Modern Language Association), Chicago, and APA (American Psychological Association) are three of the most commonly used citation styles, but there are hundreds.
In this class, you will use Chicago Manual of Style, according to guidelines adopted by Kelley School of Business at IUPUI.

Example: The population of Indianapolis, IN in 2010 was 820,445 people.1 |
Footnote 1. U.S. Census Bureau, "2010 Demographic Profile: Indianapolis city (balance), Indiana," 2010, accessed December 2, 2016, American Fact Finder. |
Example: Footnotes 1. Louis Columbus, “Where Big Data Jobs Will Be In 2016,” Forbes, November 16, 2015, accessed February 22, 2016, http://www.forbes.com/sites/louiscolumbus/2015/11/16/where-big-data-jobs-will-be-in-2016/. 2. Regina Henry and Santosh Venkatraman, “Big Data Analytics the Next Big Learning Opportunity,” Journal of Management Information and Decision Sciences 18, no. 2 (2015): 17–29. 3. Sam Ransbotham, David Kiron, and Pamela Kirk Prentice, “Minding the Analytics Gap,” MIT Sloan Management Review 56, no. 3 (Spring 2015): 4. See note 1 above. 5. See note 3 above, 65. (This is referring to the source in note 3, but referring to page 65 of that source.) |
Example: Footnotes 1. Betsy Burton and David A. Willis, “Gartner’s Hype Cycles for 2015: Five Megatrends Shift the Computing Landscape,” Gartner.com, August 12, 2015, https://www.gartner.com/doc/3111522/gartners-hype-cycles-megatrends-shift. 2. Ibid. 3. Ibid, 125 In note 3, 125 indicates the relevant page number. So it is referring to page 125. List the page number if available. |
Book Page number refers to page referenced. Always provide. |
|
E-Book* Indicate the edition you are reading (e.g. Kindle Edition, PDF e-book, etc.). If page numbers are not available you may use another indicator such as chapter, section, etc. Be as specific as you can and still be recognizable. |

Business Databases Use your judgement. You may have to create your title (example 2) so that your user knows what you were searching. Always look to see if there is an author (analyst). Provide the database name not the URL. |

Bloomberg Database Follow the same guidelines as business databases. Often titles will be the screen name combined with the equity you are researching. |
