As you deepen your understanding of a research topic, you may discover the need to cite your own work (paper or presentation) from a previous semester. You'll want to self-cite so as not to self-plagiarize. When citing yourself, your in-text citation should identify you as the author. Then, follow the style manual's instructions for unpublished work for the full reference/citation.
