When writing reports and papers there is a need to properly cite the resources that you used in researching and writing your paper. Properly formatting your citations has become even more difficult in this day and age when so many resources come from places such as the Internet. I have found that there are a number of useful tools on the Internet that help you to properly format your citations. One of the sites that I have used is the Citation Machine. This site supports several of the common formats including MLA and APA. You select the format that you would like to use and the type of reference - i.e. newspaper article, web page, online encyclopedia. Then the web page prompts you for the information you need - i.e. author's last name, title of web page, web link. Then once you submit the information, the Citation Machine spits out a properly formatted reference that you can copy and paste into your paper or report. The site is quick easy and very handy. Enjoy!
