Citation resource/tools help?

Published

Hey all,

I am working on a teaching care plan where I need to cite my resources in APA (pretty standard)

But I am struggling to find instructions, or some sort of tool, to help me figure out the correct way to cite a discharge instruction handout obtained from a hospital's website.

Does anybody have a good website or reference tool that could help me out? Or how I should classify this type of material so I can use the Purdue Owl guide.

Heres the page if that helps http://hrccatalog.hrrh.on.ca/InmagicGenie/DocumentFolder/002087_wired%20jaw.pdf

Thanks!

You found this online since you provided a link, I take it? I would use this:

[h=4]Nonperiodical Web Document or Report[/h]List as much of the following information as possible (you sometimes have to hunt around to find the information; don't be lazy. If there is a page like http://www.somesite.com/somepage.htm, and somepage.htm doesn't have the information you're looking for, move up the URL to http://www.somesite.com/):

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of document. Retrieved from http://Web address

Angeli, E., Wagner, J., Lawrick, E., Moore, K., Anderson, M., Soderland, L., & Brizee, A. (2010, May 5). General format. Retrieved from Purdue OWL: APA Formatting and Style Guide

NOTE: When an Internet document is more than one Web page, provide a URL that links to the home page or entry page for the document. Also, if there isn't a date available for the document use (n.d.) for no date.

To cite a YouTube video, the APA recommends following the above format.

I would use the format for a fact sheet. From the APA Style Guide to Electronic References (6th ed.): Organization. (date). Title [Fact sheet]. Retrieved from Managed Dedicated Server Hosting & Managed VPS Hosting by LiquidWeb...
