Hi guys,

So I just finished writing my first research paper in at least two, maybe three, years. The prof requires it be in APA formatting, which I've never used. It seems pretty straightforward except that I can't figure out how to cite websites that I've used.

For example, say I use www.biomimicry.net. I quote, in the body of my paper, from http://www.biomimicry.net/casestudyt...rcondition.htm. How would I cite that both in the body of the text and in the bibliography page?

The paper is due on Wednesday so responses before then = teh_awesome.

Thanks!
Noelle

"Nonperiodical Web Document, Web Page, or Report

List as much of the following information as possible (you sometimes have to hunt around to find the information; don't be lazy. If there is a page like http://www.somesite.com/somepage.htm, and somepage.htm doesn't have the information you're looking for, move up the URL to http://www.somesite.com/):

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of document. Retrieved month date, year, from http://Web address."

and for in paper

"Electronic Sources

If possible, cite an electronic document the same as any other document by using the author-date style.
Kenneth (2000) explained...

Unknown Author and Unknown Date: If no author or date is given, use the title in your signal phrase or the first word or two of the title in the parentheses and use the abbreviation "n.d." (for "no date").
Another study of students and research decisions discovered that students succeeded with tutoring ("Tutoring and APA," n.d.). "

In the body, I think you just put the author's last name, and the year of publication. So for yours, I think that (Turner, 2006) would work.

For your bibliography, this is the format:

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of document. Retrieved month date, year, from http://Web address.


EDIT: That's the site I use, Jason.
