Research and Citations

Welcome to the page on research and citations. Many of you have asked how to properly cite information from this page in your papers and research projects. Please refer to the below list for citation styles and contextual information about this site.

Citation Styles

Online sources are sometimes difficult to cite. Changing URLs, content and vague ownership all conspire to make the researcher's task that much more difficult. As a minimum, all citations should contain the following information: Textbookx.com

  • Document title.
  • Date of Internet publication, if available.
  • Author's name (last name first).
  • Date of access.
  • URL (fully qualified).

We suggest the following citation style for this site in general:

The President Reagan Information Page. August, 1993-present. Brett Kottmann. 2010-09-02. <http://wwww.presidentreagan.info/>.

We suggest the following citation style for a specific page in the site:

The President Reagan Information Page: Income for Males. August, 1993-present. Brett Kottmann. 2010-09-02. <http://wwww.presidentreagan.info/income_for_males.cfm>.

If you use a specific style, we suggest following the examples below for MLA or Chicago style. However, you should always follow any specific examples cited by your instructor(s) unless you get prior permission. Whatever style you use, be consistent. Do not switch styles within your paper! There are many online sources with other examples of citing online references if you need a few more suggestions. A search for "online citation method" will return a number of examples.

MLA Style

Place a list of cited sources, arranged alphabetically, after the text of your essay (or report) and any explanatory notes. The MLA Handbook recommends that you "draft the [Works Cited] section in advance, so that you will know what information to give in parenthetical references as you write". Doing this makes in-text citation of sources easier by giving you an idea of what in-text reference options will work best for each citation.

In the text of your paper:

Incomes for men rose steadily throughout the Reagan era (Kottmann).

or,

According to Brett Kottmann, incomes for males rose steadily throughout the Reagan era.

In your Works Cited list:

Kottmann, Brett. "The President Reagan Information Page: Income for Males." Kottmann Consulting. 2003-03-15. <http://wwww.presidentreagan.info/income_for_males.cfm>.

Refer to the MLA web site for more information.

Chicago Style

According to Chicago style, the first note for a given source should include all the information necessary to identify and locate the source: the author's full name, the full title of the book, the name of the editor, the place of publication, the name of the publisher, the publication date, and page numbers indicating the location of the quoted information. In subsequent references to the source, give only the author's last name followed by a comma, a shortened version of the title followed by a comma, and the page reference.
