Charting Your Library Research Trajectory

Session for Year 2

checkmark Make sure reference follows format- there is a specific format for an article, government report, technical report, blog, dissertation, etc.

 

 Do not use articles from ResearchGate, Academia.edu, or other non-reputable sites

 

 If you use articles, do not need to put 'retrieved from [site]' or the date that you retrieved the article:

Don't do this:

Bray, R. M., Fairbank, J. A. , & Marsden, M. E. (1999). Stress and substance use among military women and men. The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse25(2), 239-256. Retrieved from http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/iada20/current

Even if you have this, if a DOI exists for the article, that needs to be included instead.

 

 In the DOI, do not include our proxy in the string. Only Antioch people can authenticate with that DOI, and the purpose of a DOI is to be universal: 

So this is a BAD DOI for this article:

https://doi-org.antioch.idm.oclc.org/10.1016/j.leaqua.2018.03.004

While this is a BETTER DOI for the same article:

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.leaqua.2018.03.004

If you have questions about the DOI, copy/paste into a different browser and see where you land

 

 Do not use Dictionary.com as a source- there are more reputable sources for definitions; consider a subject-specific encyclopedia

 

 Need to include volume, issue, and page range for all articles where applicable in APA 7
