"Your first duty as a researcher is to get the facts right. Your second duty is to tell readers where the facts came from." --Kate Turabian
No matter what style is used, the purpose of any citation method is the same:
- to give credit and appropriately attribute the work of others
- to assure readers about the accuracy of your facts
- to show readers the research that informs your work
- to help readers follow or extend your work
