10 Source Type: Book Cues

Books are commonly used in student papers. They provide in-depth coverage of a topic, often written by experts in the field. Unlike shorter sources such as articles or websites, books can explore complex ideas more thoroughly, offering background information, detailed analysis, and context. They are especially useful when you’re starting research, trying to understand key concepts, or looking for well-supported arguments.
