FASH 782 - Fashion Theory: Evaluate and Cite Sources

Image Citation

Should I cite images?

  • Yes! In addition to citing written sources (like articles and books), it's good practice to cite image sources as well.

How do I cite images?

  • The handout below, developed by the Writers' Studio, provides guidelines for image citation that are widely accepted at SCAD. The style manuals for APA, MLA, Chicago and Turabian styles can also be consulted regarding image citation.
