What is a\u00a0reference?A reference is an extension of an in text citation.\u00a0 It shows the entire reference for a source so that a reader can find the article, book, or web site in case they want to read or confirm information.\u00a0 Citations and references must match.\u00a0 If you cite \u201cSchaefer 2015\u201d you must have a full reference with the same name and year.\u00a0Here are examples (made up for the purpose of this assignment) of citations (that would go within the paragraph) followed by references (that would go a the end of the paper):According to Smith (2015), research papers are an excellent way for students to learn how to summarize material.\u00a0 It should also be noted that finding high quality research from web searches is challenging since “much of the information on the internet is not scholarly” (Institute for Teaching Research n.d.\u00a0www.interestingteachingfacts.edu\/teachingtips, para 2).ReferencesSmith, L.O.
