Ethics and Public Policy: Selected Resources

Remember that plagiarism is a violation of the Rutgers University Academic Integrity Policy and could result in your dismissal from the University!

You will probably be using either Chicago/Turabian or APA (American Psychological Association) style when citing the sources that you use in your research papers. The Chicago Manual of Style, Turabian's Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, and the APA Publication Manual are available at the Dana Library Reference Desk. The Rutgers Libraries also have the Chicago Manual of Style available as an e-book.

The Writing Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison also has a nice introduction to Chicago/Turabian Documentation and an excellent introduction to APA Documentation that will give you the basic information you need to create APA citations and reference lists. You can also check out the APA Style Guide to Electronic Resources

You can also import references from the Catalog and many of the electronic databases into RefWorks, or EndNote, two web-based bibliography and citation management systems. Citation management systems will store your citations and build your bibliography for you based on whatever style sheet you specify (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).

For information on setting up a RefWorks account see the RefWorks FAQ.
