How to Cite a Source
It is a requirement of all Creative Commons licenses that you cite your source.

To do that, you can put the credit just under the picture, or if you are doing a movie or presentation, you can list all the credits at the end. Screen names are ok to use if that's all you have. You may also choose to include the license and the URL of where you got the image, but neither is required.



For those who choose to use them, AP and MLA also have formats for image citations.

MLA

Author’s name, the name of the work, publication/site, the date of creation, and the medium of publication

APA

Name of the organization, followed by the date. In brackets, provide a brief explanation of what type of data is there and in what form it appears. Finally, provide the project name and retrieval information.
