| Academic integrity (cont.) It is crucial that you acknowledge every source accurately and completely. It is likely that you will be given a specific style to use to write your papers, depending on your area of study. Two common editorial styles are APA (American Psychological Association) and MLA (Modern Language Association). Your professors will direct you regarding which style to use. There are books, websites, and workshops that provide guidance in the standard editorial styles. If you quote anything from a source, use quotation marks and take down the page number of the quotation to use in your citation. When writing a paper always identify the proper source and to give the appropriate credit to that source. For class projects, ask the professor if it is a group or individual project. Plagiarizing the work of another can result in failure of the course or expulsion from New York University.
