There you are shown exactly how to cite each different type of text we've looked at. For example, look at 'monograph' for the book, look at article in a journal for the research article. The guide shows you exactly what to do! gabrielle_smith4 https://padlet.com/gabrielle_smith4/bmuqbwrttg0bsamm/wish/525395945 2020-04-23 10:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_smith4/bmuqbwrttg0bsamm/wish/525395945 Normally, on an academic e-Poster (or in any academic work0 you would also include a list of works cited - with full citations for each source. Today we are not going to do that because we don't have time), but for our next e-Poster on June 25, you will be including a List of References with a full citation for all sources cited. gabrielle_smith4 https://padlet.com/gabrielle_smith4/bmuqbwrttg0bsamm/wish/525451407 2020-04-23 11:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielle_smith4/bmuqbwrttg0bsamm/wish/525451407
