What do I need to cite an image?
The following elements are needed if you are citing an image:
- Artist's name, if known
- Title of image if know, description if not
- The medium of the image (photograph, chart, painting, illustration, etc.)
- Where image is housed or held (if applicable)
- Title of article or book (if applicable)
- Author of article or book (if applicable)
- Date of article or book
- For article, title of periodical
- Database name (if applicable)
- URL for database
- Website name and URL (if applicable)
If you are going to use an image, picture or graph in your report, presentation or research paper, it must be cited. Unless you are using royalty-free clip art or clip art that comes from Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, you have to credit the owner of the work. Any items you obtain from a website or by scanning a book or article, you need to cite the owner of the work.
