How do I cite a Web site and other sources? |
|
There are many different styles for citing your sources. Most of the
professors at CCRI require you to cite your sources using either the
Modern Language Association (MLA) or American Psychological Association (APA)
format. Check to see if your professor has a preference; contact the
CCRI Writing Center if
you need help with your writing projects. Once
you select a style, it is important that you be consistent in using it
throughout your paper.
MLA Style The MLA guidelines on documenting both Web and print sources are explained in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed, 6th ed), published by the Modern Language Association. The CCRI Writing Center
has a handout on citing sources using the
APA Style The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed, 5th ed) covers how to cite print and Web sources in APA style. The official APA Web site also provides answers to frequently asked questions and a tutorial at APA Style Help. The CCRI Writing Center
has produced a handout on documenting sources using the
Chicago System The Writing Center
has also developed a handout on using the
NoodleTools Try NoodleBib, a subscription tool to create MLA- and APA-style citations and bibliographies.
