Works Cited information
-
To create your citations, use the APA Citation Maker.
-
Here’s what a properly formatted APA Works Cited looks like. Notice how it’s in alphabetical order, and uses hanging indents! Remember, any assignments without a Works Cited will be considered incomplete!!
- How to Properly Reference Images, Graphs, and Tables – if you are using an image to explain something (vs. make it “look pretty”), you need to cite it as a Figure and include the citation for the source in your Works Cited
- Britannica Image Quest – great site for royalty-free images! (you’ll need a password to access from home); make sure you switch the citation to APA!
Consumer Product assignment
The key for this project is to verify the information you find with your searches. Consider – who posted the information? Are they experts in this area? Have they listed their sources? (hint: try adding “scholarly articles” to your Google search phrase). If you can trust it, you can use it and cite it.
Research databases
Everything you find (books, magazine & newspaper articles, pictures, etc.) within Gale’s In Context: Science database has the citations done for you! Make sure you switch the citations to APA since they default to MLA. You will need the Gale password (included on your assignment).
Environmental Science – try searching your product in this database for some of the environmental impacts
Also consider searching across all of the Gale databases/ebooks with a Subject Guide search (the subdivisions let you narrow down to sub-topics like “chemical properties”)
Britannica School ~ when you’re using this at school, you won’t need a password; from home, you will need a username and password (included on your assignment).
