Provides an interactive tool to help create reference citations for research papers. Includes various print and electronic resources. There are many nuances to how MLA and APA citations are formed. Use this handy interactive tool to help create MLA-style citations of resources.
Whenever you take a quote paraphrase or even when you are summarizing someone’s ideas or words you need to cite the source in the bibliography and you need to make a note of it in your text.
In-text citation MLA style means you put the author’s last name and page number in parenthesis at the end of the sentence.
APA style citations in text require more. You need to put the author’s last name, the year the work was created and the page number. The title of the document should be abbreviated to the first letters of each word if there is no author or if you have more than one work by that author.
Example of MLA: (Jones, 23).
Example of APA: (Jones, 2008, p.23)
S. Beck created an interesting website regarding electronic websites available on the free web. Remember information in database, directory, gateway, portal, clearing house or repository has been evaluated and mined from the web for quality. If it’s a free standing website or part of a larger website ask yourself about quality and authenticity of the site. Documents can be altered; images can be doctored to make something appear different from what it actually is. Be careful. Consume web resources wisely.
