**Research papers require both a reference list and in-text citations. An in-text citation handout is available.**

Edition. Thefinal authority for the bibliographic format, including spacing of the references, is your professor.
The following pieces of information may be necessary for your citation:
Author(s)'s last name(s) and first initial(s) OR if unknown, sponsoring organization. If neither is available,place the document title at the beginning of the citation followed by the date.
Date of original source. If no date is provided, use this: (n.d.) Title of document/article/web page Source title and publication information: volume, issue, page numbers (if applicable) Date retrieved (only required if the content is likely to change, as is the case with wikis).
DOI (alphanumeric Digital Object Identifier), or if not available, a journal or webpage address. Need helpfinding a DOI? Look here: http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/

E-booksCitations for e-books are quite different than citations for print books and should follow a form similar to web
sites. If a DOI is provided for your e-book, use it in place of the retrieval statement. If the book is not
available also in print, the version does not need to be included.

Electronic Articles
In general, an electronic article is cited like a print article, but with the addition of a DOI. DOIs are usually
located on the article or in the database where the article was found. If you need additional help locating a
DOI go here: http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/. Some articles do not have a DOI. If there is no DOI
available, you will need to do a quick web search for the journal, magazine, or newspapers homepage web
address. If no homepage is available, use the database homepage.
