The Citation Project
Preventing plagiarism, teaching writing

Participating Institutions

To date, the Citation project has analyzed 1,911 citations from 174 student papers produced at 16 different US colleges and universities. This constitutes a broadly-based sample of the kinds of writing of all college students and provides a mathematically representative sample that allows us to explore a number of correlations and frequencies across and within the data. We carefully chose our sixteen colleges from the entire geography of the country, and we selected a wide variety of types of institution. The participating institutions are not named in our study, but we can say the following:

Our data includes colleges and universities located in:

• Alabama
• Colorado
• Georgia
• Idaho
• Indiana
• Kansas
• Massachusetts
• New Hampshire
• New Jersey

The sixteen institutions include:

• Community colleges
