Basics of Sources, References, and Citations.
E. Siler
Choose a Reliable Source
Info-Mine the Source
Select a Reference Format
Follow the Model Carefully
Link the Source to the Reference
• If your source doesn’t have a link available, use the technique described in this slidecast to link your source to the reference.
• Every reference must be connected to the source itself. http://www.slideshare.net/ElizabethSiler/savingsources-27084287

Cite
• The feline researchers Drs. Johnson and O’Brien used mitochondrial DNA to categorize most modern cats into eight different lineage-based groups (Wade, 2006).
Check Your Work
• 1. Read what you paraphrased. Does it have a citation?
• 2. Does the citation lead directly to a reference in the reference list?
• 3. Does the reference have a link to a source?• 4. Does the source show what is paraphrased
in the text? • If the answer to one of these questions is “no”
you have a BIG problem.
