Research & Works Cited

In Science 6, we encourage the use of proper scientific language. That means, when writing a response, report or background information for a lab, all information must be properly cited (both in text citation AND works cited page). In Meadowridge, MLA 8 works cited is preferred when referencing sources. As well, to obtain a level 7-8, a minimum of 3 sources must be used. Formal language is also used in Science, which means third person is used rather than first person narrative. Below are some useful sites to help with your in text citations and works cited page

OWL Purdue: Basic Style for Citations of Electronic Sources (Including Online Databases)

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/

Here are some common features you should try to find before citing electronic sources in MLA style. Not every Web page will provide all of the following information. However, collect as much of the following information as possible both for your citations and for your research notes:

• • • Author and/or editor names (if available)

    • Article name in quotation marks.

    • Title of the website, project, or book in italics.

    • Any version numbers available, including editions (ed.), revisions, posting dates, volumes (vol.), or issue numbers (no.).

    • Publisher information, including the publisher name and publishing date.

    • Take note of any page numbers (p. or pp.) or paragraph numbers (par. or pars.).

    • URL (without the https://) DOI or permalink.

    • Date you accessed the material (Date Accessed)—While not required, it is highly recommended, especially when dealing with pages that change frequently or do not have a visible copyright date.

    • Remember to cite containers after your regular citation. Examples of containers are collections of short stories or poems, a television series, or even a website. A container is anything that is a part of a larger body of works.

Use the following format:

Author. Title. Title of container (self contained if book), Other contributors (translators or editors), Version (edition), Number (vol. and/or no.), Publisher, Publication Date, Location (pages, paragraphs and/or URL, DOI or permalink). 2^nd container’s title, Other contributors, Version, Number, Publisher, Publication date, Location, Date of Access (if applicable).
