ARH

Citing sources

Properly citing your sources is the most important activity in the research process. It is the foundation upon which scholarship is based. In this class you will be using Chicago/Turabian style.  Below is an example of an article from an online database (Note/Bibliography style). You need to include the database you used, the vendor url, and the date you viewed the article.

First note form:

1. Jane Doe, “Incidental Toxins and Deer Mortality in CentralPark,” Pesticides and Urban Ungulates 44, no. 12 (June 2008): 26, http://www.scienceindirect.com/urbscarnage/article2whatrhooves4? (accessed May 5, 2001).

Bibliography:
