LIT

LIT, or Literary in-text citation, is a method used to give credit to the original author when you include their idea, quote, or information in your writing. Instead of listing all sources at the end, you briefly mention the author's name and the page number within your text. This helps readers know where your information comes from without interrupting the flow of your writing. Proper LIT ensures academic integrity, respects authors' work, and allows others to find the original source if they want more details.
