Our latest research article discusses a #citationliteracy study from @McGillLib #librarians who performed undergraduate paper evaluations and focus groups to better understand student citation behavior, perspectives on citations, and available support. doi.org/10.1080/15228959.202…
Research article Understanding student citation literacy: A multi-method approach Kristen Howard & Nikki Tummon McGill Libraries, McGill University, Montreal, Canada This multi-method study investigated the citation literacy, the knowledge and ability to create and understand citations, of undergraduate students in the humanities and social sciences. Although a critical academic and information literacy skill, citation literacy is often given insufficient instructional time or attention. The authors evaluated citation accuracy in 25 APA and 25 Chicago style student papers and conducted a focus group. The aim was to better understand student citation behavior, perspectives on citations, and available support. The findings suggest the need for more citation literacy training at universities, which academic librarians are well positioned to offer.
