  1. Gale/TEL and APA Formatting Gullett: The Historical Cell

  2. GVRL • Search terms • Cell theory • spontaneous generation • invention of the microscope • compound microscope • Louis Pasteur, Zacharias Jansen, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, Robert Hooke, Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, Rudolf Virchow • Use the Citation Tools to generate your APA citation and copy/paste it onto your Works Cited page.

  3. Science in Context • Browse Topics: Biology/Cells (Search within results—cell theory). • Browse Topics: Biographies/Louis Pasteur. (Search within results—spontaneous generation). • Search for each scientist by name. • The citations that appear at the bottom of each article are in MLA format. To generate a citation in APA, use Citation Tools.

  4. TEL • Offers some resources that Gale does not so search here too • Student Resources in Context—Search terms: • Cell theory • Spontaneous generation • Compound microscope • Scientists by name • Again, the citations that appear at the bottom of each article are in MLA format. To generate a citation in APA, use Citation Tools.

  5. The Five W’s of Website Evaluation • Who? Who wrote the pages? • What? What type of site is it and is the purpose of the site? What information is on the site? • When? When was the site created? How long since it has been updated? How old is the information? • Where? Where does the information come from? • Why? Why is this information useful for my purpose? Why is this page better than another? • Use these criteria to find reliable online resources.

  6. APA Formatting Basics • The paper is double spaced, as well as the reference page. • The citation has a hanging indent. • All information used in the paper must be in the reference page. • Any information that is not your own needs to be cited. • Works cited is last name, first initial Ex. Doe, J. • When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. • Citations are listed alphabetically on the References page.

  7. Citation Builders and Resources • Purdue OWL— http://goo.gl/him8 • The ultimate resource and formatting/style guide for MLA, APA and more. Includes all the rules for parenthetical citations and building a proper works cited page. • MTSU citation style guides— http://goo.gl/JOj1U and http://libraryguides.mtsu.edu/content.php?pid=341697&sid=2793691 • Easy to use resource that includes formatting/style guides for MLA, APA and more.
