Civil engineers document the sources cited in their research in the same manner and for the same reasons as other academic disciplines: to give credit where credit is due, avoid plagiarism and to distinguish individual contributions from those made by peers and colleagues.

An officially authorized documentation system designed specifically for engineers does not exist; however, the guidelines presented here were developed by the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers). Following them will fulfill their publication requirements but check with your instructor on what is expected to fulfill your classroom assignments.
