How do I cite sources properly in my research paper?

To cite sources properly, you need to follow a specific citation style, like APA, MLA, or Chicago. Which one 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, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Publisher.

What if I'm citing a website?

For a website in APA, the format is: Author, A. A. (Year, Month Date). Title of page. Site name. URL. Make sure to include the retrieval date if the content is likely to change.

Thanks! How do I create a bibliography?

In APA, the bibliography is called a 'References' page. List all your sources in alphabetical order by the author's last name, following the same format as your in-text citations.
