APA Citations

COMM 1011 assignments require in-text citations when you refer to information you learned from the textbook, lectures, and other sources such as books, academic journal articles, and newspaper articles.

Commerce uses APA citation style.

Tip: Use citation generators within Novanet and databases, but always double check them because they often make mistakes.

Tip: Use APA's examples for how to format citations of books, journal articles, newspaper articles, websites, etc. found at the link below. (See "Textual Works" for journal and newspaper articles, even if they are online. See Online Media for websites and web pages.)
