1) Lots of good vibes to your aunt & family

2) Quick writing question for ya. It's been a while since I wrote a paper using quotations and in college we had to use Turabian w/ footnotes so that's what I'm most familiar with. Not sure how to handle this though.

I'm doing a paper for my psych class. This professor is very lenient in general with no mention of how she prefers citation. I'm the one being anal here since I doubt she really cares. Anyways, it's a statistic taken from a government website where they site the author of the study & the journal it was published in. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

The website:

And the source of the particular fact I'm quoting:

Hingson, R. et al. Magnitude of Alcohol-Related Mortality and Morbidity Among U.S. College Students Ages 18-24: Changes from 1998 to 2001. Annual Review of Public Health, vol. 26, 259-79; 2005

Re: **SBS**

  • I've never even heard of Turabian. So...in general, psych follows APA (the American Psychological Association). The "rule" that's pretty much accepted is that you cite where you got the information. So that would be the website...UNLESS you look up the actual study. Then you'd cite that too.

    Here's the reference I use and that I always share with my students/tutees in the Writing Center:

    They've got an awesome APA citation guide on there that should be helpful. I never do anything without a citation guide :)

  • Thanks for the link! Turabian is based on Chicago Style and it's what my dept. decided we all had to use. Not really helpful outside of history classes though.
