How do I properly cite non-fiction sources?

To cite non-fiction sources properly, you need to follow a specific citation style, like APA, MLA, or Chicago. Which style are you using?

I'm using APA style. Can you give me an example?

Sure! In APA style, a book citation looks like this: Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of the book. Publisher. For example: Smith, J. (2020). Understanding History. Academic Press.

What if I have multiple authors?

If there are up to 20 authors, list them all. For example: Smith, J., & Doe, A. (2020). Title of the book. Publisher. For more than 20, list the first 19, then use an ellipsis (...) followed by the last author's name.

Can you help me with citing a website?

Absolutely! In APA, a website citation looks like this: Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Date). Title of the webpage. Website Name. URL. For example: Doe, A. (2021, January 5). The impact of climate change. Environmental Studies. http://www.environmentalstudies.com/climate-change.
