References:

On a separate page, list the peer-reviewed research articles you used as sources in APA format (see below for links on how to do this). If you need additional help finding appropriate information for your topic, ask a reference librarian on campus.  They are valuable resources. Use them. Research your information using peer-reviewed research articles. Examples of reliable Internet search engines providing links to peer-reviewed research articles include Google Scholar, PubMed, and BioMed Central.

DO NOT use general information websites such as Wikipedia or WebMD as primary reference sources. (However, these general information websites may give you background information or ideas for helping you decide on your topic; just don’t cite them as your reference sources, because they aren’t scholarly or academic sources). Avoid plagiarism by using your own words. DO NOT copy and paste text from a website into your report. Remember that failing to cite another source’s ideas (even if you paraphrase those ideas) is considered plagiarism.
