Unless your teacher has specified another style, most science courses at Lawrenceville require APA citation style.
For all APA citations, you will need:
A full bibliographic citation (goes at the end of your paper/presentation on the Works Cited page)
An in-text citation (a shorter, parenthetical citation that sits at the end of each piece of evidence used in your writing).
Only cite the information that is available to you. If you cannot identify a piece of the template [e.g. an author or date], leave it out rather than making it up.
Follow all punctuation and text styles in the guide examples linked below. The periods, commas, italics, and quotation marks matter so shoot for precision.
For additional help with citation, use the chat feature in this research guide or stop into the library to work with a librarian.
Create citations and bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Requires a Lawrenceville email address. Please email asinai@lawrenceville.org for Noodletools help.
