Go Team aims to make reading blogposts as simple as possible. Due to our own familiarity with the MLA style and hopefully our target readers' familiarity with it as well, we will be using an adjusted form of the MLA style. Generally in high school, the MLA style is used and incorporated in courses the most often, so we want to make sure we provide citations that our young readers will understand and be able to easily navigate around. Most of our citations will be for internet articles or journals which will be formatted in a regular MLA style, but we will provide simply a direct link for internet sources that can be accessed as well.
Citations are important to the team, because we want to credit other work while building upon our own argument. They not only give credit to the original writers, but help establish our own credibility as well. Readers will have the option to explore our topics in more depth and get a first hand look at the basis of our research. Not to mention, we are really not tryna get in trouble with the UNC honor court.
This is how we do it:
An Article in a web magazine:
Author Name. "Article Name." Title of the Web Magazine. Publisher Name, Publication Date. Web. Date of Access.
An Article in an Online Scholarly Journal:
Author Name. "Article Name." Title of the Publication Volume Number.Issue Number (Year of Publication): Page Numbers. Name of Database. Web. Date of Access.
Internet Site:
Actual link to the site.
