Citing non-paper/essay sources:

Consider your product (website, movie, prezi, magazine) as a paper. You will still
handle the research in the same manner, only you will need to create the page
that is required for each piece of research. In-text citations will still be included with
each piece of research- decide if you want them to follow the MLA format with the
parenthesis or the footnote format, where the pieces of research will be noted at the
bottom of each page or segment with the citation.

Citing in a video:
After each piece of research which will be written in words, the citation will follow
on its own slide.
Movie:

slide with research

(slide with citation)

The end of your movie will then have a slide with all of the works cited information
that you would normally find on a works cited page. Those in-text citations will still
correspond with the information in the works cited slide.
If you use a footnote here, the footnote will occur after the piece of research in the
slide on the movie, and each of the sources on the works cited slide will have the
corresponding number- this is less intrusive with a visual image product.

Movie:
slide with research1
#s for the footnotes

/ other slides with research

Citing in a magazine submission:


Use the typical MLA style format- placing the parenthesis with the citation following
any piece of research. Include a works cited page in the magazine that will
correspond with those citations.
In order to be less intrusive, follow the footnote model. Each source gets assigned a
number. These then are used in the midst of the research to designate the source.
For example:
Hitlers regime seemed to falter initially when they lost their first elections 1.
On the Works cited page, the number one would correlate to the source that
included this piece of information.

Citing in a Prezi:
Follow the same format as in a Power Point Presentation- each slide is a section of
the canvas. The citation for each piece of research either follows the piece of
research immediately (if there are numerous sources used for each slide) or is
placed at the bottom of the slide (if all of the research on that slide is from the
same source). The last slide on the canvas will be your WC slide. See the sample
Power Point version on Moodle .

Citing in a Website:
For each piece of research, add the citation in parenthesis- treat it as we do the
Power Point- all research from the same source, place the citation at the bottom. If
theres research from different sources, place the citation after each piece. The last
link needs to be the works cited link that will correspond to all of the citations that
you have throughout the pages.

General Citing in a Paper:


For each piece of research (paraphrased or word for word), the citation needs to
follow each sentence of research this is the FIRST PIECE OF INFO. FOR THIS
SOURCE ON THE WC PG.
If your research spans multiple sentences, you can use tags in order to negate the
intrusiveness of the citations.
Ex.- According to James Smith, a psychologist for the U.S. Military, many veterans
struggle with the images of war. He continues to claim that there are issues with
sleep patterns, relationships, and career responsibilities. It is generally with the
help of organizations such as The Wounded Warrior Project that many of these
heroes are able to address their illnesses (Smith).

This example has each piece of research tagged with the citation within the
sentence or in the parenthesis following the sentence. IT IS NECESSARY to note
any/all sentences, that have the ideas borrowed from another source (word for word
or paraphrased), in order to prevent plagiarizing.
