Sources used must be cited both in text and in a works cited page to avoid plagiarism. At least one source used must either an original research paper or review paper. Scientific articles can sometimes be hidden behind a paywall, so try to use either the library’s databases, or use Google Scholar. Other sources may be from other reputable secondary sources, such as the American Heart Association or books published on the topic. Information found from .gov or .edu sites is generally reliable as well. When reading these sources, make sure to look for recent articles. Older articles may be outdated and no longer accurate. Avoid collective sites such as Wikipedia or WebMD. Avoid personal websites, blogs, or opinion-based articles. Personal anecdotes (stories) are not acceptable either. Sources such as these do not necessarily include scientific data, may be outdated, and may contain inaccurate or misleading information. All of these are unreliable sources and cannot be included in your works cited.
