SOURCE Retrieval Information Johnson, T. E. & Lee, G. (2009). Task performance in an online team-based learning environment. Performance Improvement Quarterly, 21(3), 97-112. http://doi.org/10:1002/piq.20033 WHAT IS DOI?

DOI Because online materials can potentially change URLs, APA recommends providing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), when it is available, as opposed to the URL. DOIs are unique to their documents and consist of a long alphanumeric code. Regardless of how the doi is presented in the source you use, it will be put into this format in your paper: http://doi.org/10.1108/0309056071082 1161 If the item is online, look for the doi. It is not ok to leave it off if one exists.

SOURCES with no DOI listed If an item from a research database (most things in LIRN) and is missing a DOI, do not include anything for the locator. This does not include Statista! It counts as data sets and reports, not in this category. All other online resources should list the URL after the final period for the rest of the citation. U.S. Census Bureau. (2009). Bangor city, Maine: Selected social characteristics in the United States: 2005 2007. In 2005 2007 American Community Survey. http://factfinder.census.gov/ servlet/ADPTable?_bm=y& geo_id=16000US2302795& context =adp& ds_name=ACS_2007_3YR_G00_& tree_id=3307& _lang =en& _caller=geoselect& format=

If author information cannot be found How do you cite material that has no author, no year, or no page numbers? Heuristic.(n.d.). In Merriam-Webster s online dictionary (11th ed.). http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/heuristic Anonymous. (2009, August 24). All clunkered out. Wall Street Journal, A12. http://online.wsj.com

Rules to follow when writing your references page: Start the reference section on a new page. The word References should be centered at the top of the page in bold but should not be underlined or capitalized. List citations alphabetically by the author s last name. If you have more than one citation for the same author, order them from oldest to most recent.
