Accessed 12 May 2016. This is a citation for an online article. Make sure that your online
articles are reliable. Look for established news sources, and lean toward urls that end in
.org or .edu. Make sure that the articles rely on facts. Real facts, not alternative.

As you can see, it is set up “Last Name, First Name. Title. Publisher, Year.” Additionally,
your annotation should begin immediately after the citation. Make sure you give a short
summary of the text, and then give some sentences of take-away. Also, notice that these
citations are in alphabetical order by author’s last name.
White, Snow. "Avoiding Self-Organized Extinction: A Case Against Eating
Cookies." International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology, vol. 14,

two different sources written by the same author. In those cases, write three dashes
instead of rewriting the author’s name. In terms of how you should order them, keep
them alphabetical by article name. Because the title of the first article begins with “A,” it
comes first on the list.
