The Citation Manifesto

The Citation Manifesto is a set of principles advocating for the proper acknowledgment of sources in academic work. It emphasizes that citations are crucial for validating claims, giving credit to original ideas, and fostering a collaborative knowledge-building environment. By consistently citing sources, researchers uphold academic integrity, enable others to trace information back to its origin, and enhance the reliability of their own work. The manifesto calls for a cultural shift in how we view citations, promoting them as essential components of scholarly communication rather than mere formalities.
