          How to document the online sources


Why we need documenting sources?


In academic communities, the ethics of research demand    
   that writers be credited for their work and their writing.

  if you use some sources from others article, you have to let
  people know. If you do not document you sources, that is
  cheating.  Therefor, that is very important to do your
  reference in the end of your paper.

How to documenting sources?
If you are using APA style for your reference list, consider this basic formula for online sources:
Author/Editor's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day). Title of article without. quotation marks. Title of Complete Work/Journal. Retrieved month, day, year, from the World Wide Web:


If you are using MLA style for bibliographic citations, use the following general formula for online sources: Author's Last Name, First Name. "Title of Work."Title of Complete Work/Journal. 
    URL
The date of publication. The date of access. The URL in
angle brackets.

Example: (2)
MLA Professional Website
IABC. Homepage. 2000. International Association of
Business Communicators. 13 Jan. 2001.
APA Professional Website
International Association of Business Communicators.
(2000).
IABC. [Online]. Retrieved January 13, 2001, from


I hope the information above as guides to help you understand how to cite the sources you have used in writing your papers.
