Teaching How to Research and Cite Responsibly
 

 

Teaching students to research and cite responsibly is probably the best way to prevent accidental preventing plagiarism.  This section is divded into two parts. The first part "Incorporating Sources" includes resources that discuss quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing.  The second section addresses citing reponsibly and includes links to style guide online resources.

Style Guides

MLA Style Guide
The OWL at Purdue
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/

 

Purdue's OWL (Online Writing Lab) was one of the first such online services and remains one of the most respected. This resource covers MLA (Modern Language Association) style for citing sources used within the liberal arts and is updated according to the 6th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers and the 2nd edition of the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing.   The resource includes explanation and examples of in-text citations and the Works Cited page. 


APA Style Guide
The OWL at Purdue

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

 

Purdue's OWL (Online Writing Lab) was one of the first such online services and remains one of the most respected. This resource covers APA (American Psychological Association) style for citing sources used within the social sciences and  is updated for the 5th edition of the APA manual.  The resource includes explanation and examples of in-text citations and the reference page.


Chicago Manual of Style Online
http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html

 

One of the standard styles of the publishing world has finally produced an online version.  Full access to the manual requires a yearly subscription. 

Because the online service is new, they are offering an introductory subscription price for a single user of $25 per year.  There is also a 30-day free trial. The site does include some noteworthly free services. 

The Quick Guide section offers an overview of the Chicago Manual of Style and includes electronic source examples. The . Q&A section is a cornucopia of tidbits about CMS and could be very helpful to students because the questions are common issues and the answers are practical and applicable to many.  The only drawback to this section is that it is organized by Month and not by topic.

Documenting Electronic Sources
The OWL at Purdue
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/584/01/

 

Purdue's OWL (Online Writing Lab) was one of the first such online services and remains one of the most respected.  Electronic sources are some of the most confusing types of sources to cite because the changing and expanding nature of new media means it  often does not fit neatly into the traditional citation format structure.  This resource is really a conduit to links to specific resources on documenting electronic sources and is made up of three sections.  The first section is an overview of the issues concerning online sources.  The second section links to resources that examine the issues and intricacies of electronic sources in MLA, APA, and discipline-specific styles from Chicago Manual of Style to Biology/CBE style.  The final section is a list of links to online guides to citing electronic sources.
