Citing Help

If you cite multiple sources written by the same author and published in the same year, you will need to add unique letters to the publication date in your reference. Sort these references:

  1. alphabetically by author name
  2. then by date (oldest to newest) if month and day are included in the publication date (e.g. website publication date)
  3. then alphabetically by title.

These references will dictate how the in-text citations are written.
