  27. Keeping Track of Sources– Want More Examples of APA Style? For supplemental examples of APA citation style, consider also referring to:In-Text Citation – The Basics - Purdue OWL https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/ In-Text Citation – Authors – Purdue OWL https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/03/ Syracuse University Libraries – APA Guide http://researchguides.library.syr.edu/c.php?g=258089&p=1723658 For additional examples of citing government documents* Cornell University Library – How to Cite U.S. Government Documents - http://guides.library.cornell.edu/c.php?g=134360&p=880403 *Be wary, because formatting suggestions for citing government publications tend to vary. Best advice is to pick a format presented by one guide, matching “type(s)” of government documents you are citing, and stick with that as much as possible (ignore information on book locations applicable only to Cornell campus). Absolutely – model your citations using the APA Guide on the PST (PAF) 101 website – they are examples tailored to fit the Module 2 exercises!!!
