Citations Post

Citing sources is important because in most cases, we do not have all of the information we need to write the various papers and blog posts. We receive a majority of our information from alternate sources and when this is done it’s important that we credit these people. They have done the work to create whatever outlet that we found the information, and because they did this we are now able to create our, in this case, blog post.

We as a group feel that the best way to cite these sources is through the MLA format. It is the most commonly used and in our opinion the most efficient way to cite a source. In this case the author’s name will appear in last name first, first name last order. Following this will be the title of the source, the place in which it was published and or created, and then the year with the medium. A medium is the type of source being used, in our case it will most likely be a web source. The reason we chose this citation style is that it is the one we are all the most familiar with and made the most sense to use. It has a nice clean format to it and is not entirely difficult to put together.
