## Citing this Site

A number of useful citation formats for web resources can be found here. In general you should include author, publication date, page title, title of the site, date you viewed the site, and the url. In APA format a citation of one of our resources might look like this:

Macdonald, H. (2004) Geologic Puzzles: Think Pair Share, Starting Point. Retrieved Sept 9, 2004, from <http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/interactive/examples/puzzles.html>

Many pages within our sites list author information (e.g. for a particular example or activity) immediately below the page title. In areas of the site where a single author created a group of pages you may need to visit the first page of the set to find the authorship information. If no author information is provided you can assume the author is the 'Science Education Resource Center'. Or feel free to contact us for more detailed authorship information.

Our pages list the last modification date (effectively the publication date of the current page content) in the page footer. The page title can be found across the top of your web browser and the site title usually appears in the banner across the top of the page.
