Mathematics and Statistics: Citing Sources / Preparing Presentations

WRITE WELL; CITE YOUR SOURCES CORRECTLY; AVOID PLAGIARISM

To save a lot of time in preparing and APA-formatted bibliography, look for the "create citation" feature in most article databases to capture your citations in APA format.

Please note: if you use the citation feature within EBSCO databases, you will see the following notice:
NOTE: Review the instructions at EBSCO Support Site and make any necessary corrections before using. Pay special attention to personal names, capitalization, and dates. Always consult your library resources for the exact formatting and punctuation guidelines.
Other databases post similar notices. Remember that you have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that your citations are properly formatted. Use the online resources listed below for guidance on proper APA citation style, or consult the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association; or Mastering APA style: student's workbook and training guide.
