Welcome to the Citation Game! Here you will play an interactive game and learn how to correctly format APA or MLA citations for some of the most commonly used citation types.

You won't find every type within this game, but you can always go to the resources listed below for more information.

We will add more types of citation, so be sure to come back and play often.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Before you begin, please print out the two Review sheets: the APA review sheet (or as a pdf) and the MLA review sheet (or as a pdf) to use while playing this game.

1. Using the Citation Game Index box on the right, click on a citation formation that you would like to learn.

2. Drag and drop the citation pieces in the correct order for that type.

3. When you think your answer is correct, click the Check button.

4. If your answer is incorrect, you can click the Restart button or move the pieces around and click the Check button again.

5. If you need help, click the Hint button and it will tell you what is right.

6. If your answer is correct, click the forward arrow to move to the next citation or click Index to choose a different citation type.

You won't be scored on the alignment. In APA and MLA citations, the first line of each citation should be left-aligned, and subsequent lines should be indented five spaces. This game is based solely on the order of the citation elements, and not on alignment.

Joey is good at taking tests, but does not write papers very well. He does a lot of research, decides to rely heavily on quotations and does an exemplary job of citing his sources. Is this plagiarism?

Incorrect! A parenthetical and works cited reference are needed.

Greg uses information from his geology lab workbook in his lab report. Does he need to cite it?

Incorrect! Even lab manuals and workbooks need to be cited.

Paraphrasing involves re-writing a statement in your own words. Try again.

Mary wrote a paper in freshman composition which she could now use in her sophomore-level sociology course. She should...

Use it but change a few words

Not use it because it was already turned in for credit

Discuss its use with the professor

Use it because she's the original author

You should always talk to your professor before reusing a paper, or simply don't reuse it. Try again.

How can Sheila use information from an uncopyrighted Internet source such as Wikipedia

not copyrighted, can use any way she wants

She can quote or paraphrase online sources, but must always cite the source. Try again.

Hmmm, it's dark in here!

You must always cite someone else's ideas, words, images, and other intellectual creations. Try again.

What are the penalties when/if you get caught plagiarizing your work?

could get expelled from school

must pay fine to the college

unpleasant chat w/ prof or dean

library privileges revoked

The following text is part of an example research paper. Click on the text that tells you where the writer got his or her information from.

The recent literature on plagiarism is plentiful, but incomplete. The issue is very complex, and it is difficult to find a standard definition of plagiarism among faculty and administrators, let alone one that is understood by students. Most cases of plagiarism appear to be "accidental," stemming not from a deceive, but from an honest ignorance or confusion (Maurer, 2006). Students have a good reason to be confused...

The citation looks like this: (Maurer 2006). Try again.

Asking for help is always the best way to be sure. Try again.

"John is a particularly heartbreaking character, full of bluster as he tries to make sense of his abandonment by his abusive father and his well-meaning but immature mother."
Which of the following are acceptable ways to use this text in your paper?

AJohn is a very heartbreaking character, full of emotion as he tries to understand his abandonment by his father (Hynes, 2006).

BJohn's weakness is demonstrated by his obsession with the poor treatment from his father and mother (Hynes, 2006).

The first example is too close to the original and would be considered plagiarism.

Patrick took a paper he wrote for his his Education class and handed in the same paper for his Psychology class. This is considered plagiarism.

Not knowing the rules about plagiarism excuses Penny from the consequences if and when she is caught plagiarizing.

Julie states in her essay that carrots contain Vitamin A. She does not need to cite this information because it is common knowledge.
