OB 354 (Hong) - Behavior in Organizations

For this course, you will need to use APA citations. Citing your sources accurately and completely is essential for avoiding plagiarism and allowing others to follow along with your work. When you use someone else's words or ideas, you should create both an in-text citation within the body of your paper and a references list citation at the end of your paper. 

There are a number of resources available to help in creating your citations. Two good sources include: 

•  The Purdue Owl's APA Style Guide, which offers lots of examples for both in-text and reference list citation formatting

• The official APA Style Guide website will always have the most up-to-date information, as well as in-depth information on citing different sources 

Citation managers are helpful tools for organizing and saving useful citations during your research. Although there are many citation management tools to choose from, I recommend Zotero since it is open source and free to use. 

Follow along with the Quick Start Guide to download Zotero and begin using the software. 

Zotero allows you to:

• Quickly save items with the Zotero Chrome extension
• Share folders with others, such as members of a group project
• Autogenerate citations in numerous common citation styles (including APA, Chicago, and MLA)
