Citing Sources

As with an academic paper, scholarly citations are still required for research posters.

• Use the same formatting covered in the APA and MLA sections of this guide to create your References or Works Cited lists 
• Include in-text citations and captions for images and figures
• References or Works Cited should appear as a box at the bottom right corner of your poster (the "end" of your poster)
