bibliography

Post by smithmaggie711 »

How do I cite your article on Best Bubbles? It looks like an article, but I found it on a website. We are only allowed 2 websites. I'd like to use it as an article. Here is the article I am talking about: https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... st-bubbles

Thanks!

Hi smithmaggie77

Citing your sources is an important part of any science experiment. You are correct that this is located on a website. However, this is an article written in a magazine titled Scientific American. This resource would be classified as an article and not a website.

An article in a magazine undergoes a review process, by the magazine editors. While a website may not have any review process. This is commonly why website resources are limited by your teachers.

If you respond with which format you are using(APA, MLA, etc.), I can help you format your bibliography.

Hope this helps,

Hi smithmaggie77,

In addition to AeroSE's advice, if you need help citing the source, there are websites you can use that format your sources for you such as EasyBib and Oslis. Let us know if you need any more help!
