How Do I Cite My Teacher's Paper?

Any reference material used to complete an academic paper must be properly cited to avoid plagiarism. Reference materials can be cited in different ways, depending on whether you are formatting your paper according the Modern Language Association's guidelines or the American Psychological Association's guidelines. Most academic paper citations outside the social sciences are formatted according to the MLA's guidelines. Within the social sciences, use the APA citation format. Additionally, if your teacher's paper has been published in a scholarly journal, it will be cited differently than an unpublished hand-out.
