Remember to cite your sources using APA style. Most databases, including Google Scholar, will have a "cite" button. Be sure to check the citation, they are not always accurate. The screen shots below show how to use the cite feature in EbscoHost databases like Academic Search Complete.

1. Click on the title of the article you'd like to cite.

2. Click on the quotation mark icon.

3. Choose APA style.

There's a new edition of APA style, the 7th edition. There aren't too many changes, but some major ones to be aware of are as follows:

1) Publication location no longer needed for books.

2) "Retrieved from" is no longer needed before a URL.

3) DOIs are treated as any other URL. Label "DOI" is not needed.
