The right way to cite another work is an essential skill you should learn during your study program. The University Library offers a number of courses on various topics, such as literature research, quality criteria when selecting literature, correct citations, and an introduction to citation management programs (Citavi, EndNote, Zotero).

The Further reading section of this wiki also includes a number of books and links you can use to further explore this topic.
Beyond that, a number of study programs and departments have written guidelines on academic writing for their students, including the Institute for Media and Communication Studies and the program in Chinese Studies. You should keep an eye out for these materials.
