Ways to Identify Journal Articles

Citing Sources

It is very important to cite words and/or ideas you take straight from another work and put into your paper.  For this class you need to use the American Psychological Association (APA) format.  We have two guides at the Reference Desk, one for print sources and one for electronic sources. You can also find some examples online at Quick Reference: Citation Guides.
