    Developing a works cited page and analysis of sources


    As a writer it is your ethical responsibility to give proper credit to sources. It is also very important that you give
    credit in accordance with a style of citations. You must use MLA style formatting, and should use EasyBib.com
    for help in the process. If you fail to give proper credit to a source you have committed plagiarism.

    1. The Works Cited page should always be the last page of your essay, report or presentation.
    2. Sources should be organized alphabetically by the first word or name in the entry. This first word or
    name is what you use in the paper when making a direct citation or quote from the author.
    3. You should include every source that is in your research above.
    4. Use Easybib.com to create your Works Cited page.
    5. Write a short paragraph about your sources that identifies the author and their purpose, then analyze
    the source in terms of it timeliness, objectivity, and accuracy in order to evaluate the values and
    limitations of the source and make a conclusion about it's validity.
