One important aspect of your News Article Assignments is to properly cite
your work. The way this is done varies by discipline. Since this
is a chemistry class, I would like you to use the formats used in chemistry.
Within the text, when you make reference to information from one of your
sources, it is most common to use a superscripted number1 or to
use an italicized number in parenthesis (2). Citations should
be numbered in the order they are cited, starting at with 1.
The references should be grouped at the bottom of the page (footnotes) or
the end of the paper (endnotes). Either is fine. The proper way
to cite periodicals, books and internet sources are illustrated by example
below. For purposes of our assignments, I want you to include the title
of the articles you use, even though it is not commonly done in chemistry
publications in order to conserve space.
