Based on your current assignment of writing a research paper, two of the most important things to learn about citing sources in APA format are:
- Understanding in-text citations
- Citing websites (where most of your material will probably come from)
As you are writing your first draft of your research paper this week, watch the videos from the series on in-text citations and citing websites (embedded below) to ensure you cite your sources correctly.
- Check out this video series with 12 helpful videos about citing sources in APA style.
- Use citationmachine.net - a great tool to help you cite your sources in APA format.
To demonstrate that you have done this work, include both in-text citations and a reference page in your first draft (due for your Mentor Meeting Assignment this week).
