Citing ORIGINAL CONTENT
How to Read an ORIGINAL Source
Citation
Once you’ve identified your article as an
ORIGINAL SOURCE, where do you go from there?
Citing a source is like putting together
a jigsaw puzzle – each piece has to come together just so in order for the
puzzle to make the big picture.
Locate your citation information at the end of your article. Look for “MLA” or “Works Cited” or “How to Cite.”
Example Article
Example Article
AUTHOR(S) OF ARTICLE(hint – it is okay if you do
not have an author)
TITLE OF ARTICLE(hint – this title often appears
in “quotation marks” )
PUBLICATION DATE(hint – if the year does not
appear in the citation itself, scroll to the bottom of the page for the
date next to the ©)
RETRIEVAL INFORMATION(pick ONLY the ONE that applies to your article)
1. DOI - http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0002-9432.76.4.482
OR
2. DATABASE NAME + ACCESSION/DOCUMENT #
OR
3. URL to the .COM
Now you’re ready to create your works cited entry in your working bibliography in
NoodleTools.
