Best Practices for Citing Images
As you conduct you research, be sure to keep track of the basic information needed for citing images:
- Creator name(s)
- Title of work
- Creation date
- Publication date (if applicable)
- Materials and dimensions (depending on style)
- Location of work (website, museum, repository, collection, et cetera)
If you found the image in a book or periodical, you will need to cite the book's or magazine's information. If you found the image on the web or in an online database, you will need to cite the database name, URL, identifying file number for the image, and date of access. See examples for APA, MLA, and Turabian in the following sections.
NEVER cite Google Image as the source of an image. Find the original location of an image, by clicking on the image.
