Question: (1/23/2010)
how do you make a citation from an internet source?
Answer: (2/19/2010)
Because Internet sources typically have no page or paragraph numbers, and Web sites in particular are often anonymous, people are often confused about how to refer to these sources within their papers. The answer is to cite the author's name whenever possible and use the source's title otherwise (or a shortened version of the title). If no page or paragraph number is provided in the document (NOT on your printer), leave that portion of the citation blank. Keep in mind that the primary purpose of an in-text citation is simply to point readers to the correct entry on the Works Cited Page.

Ashley (5/18/2009)
How do we get our work automatically cited? i cant figure it out!
~Thanks~


Ryuuko (5/5/2009)
Egg, I believe that if the article has an author, then just use the last name of the author as if you were quoting from a book. If there is no author for the source, however, simply cite it as a quote with no author (by using the title). It says everything in this article -- you just have to cite it the way it tells you to depending on whether or not the author(s) of the article is known and stated in your bibliography.

What do you do if you need to parenthetically site two articles with the same title?


Shannon (4/1/2009)
Maureen--
A works cited page includes the texts that you directly cite in your paper, and a bibliography includes all the texts that you used in your research process, but didn't necessarily include in your paper.
I hope that helps.


Shannon (4/1/2009)
What if you are using two poems by the same author? How do you differentiate between which poem you are citing? Is it just contextual? Or do you actually put something different in the parenthesis?
Thanks so much.
