IN-TEXT CITATION EXAMPLE:

Matt Sundeen notes that drivers with cell phones place an
estimated 98,000 emergency calls each day and that the
phones "often reduce emergency response times and actually
save lives" (1).


(At the very bottom of the page or in your bibliograpy write your source)

(1)Sundeen, Matt. "Cell Phones and Highway Safety: 2000 State
Legislative Update." National Conference of State
Legislatures. Dec. 2000. 9 pp. 27 Feb. 2001

You can do that for all your sources (2)(3) etc

Answer 4

well it is actually quite easy to cite sources once you get the hang of it. now, for internet articles, you usually introduce the author of the internet database who published ( both is preferred) when you introduce the quote or passage the first time in your paper and not putting the URL is advised...The same goes for the internet articles or other non internet articles..

and, in the bibliography, for internet articles, you want to put last name, first name of auther. "title". the database/forum/organization who published it. date it was published. date you accessed it ( ex. 27 october 2006.) if it is internet source.city it was published: publisher. pg#'s ( this is only if non internet source). then url (ex. < www.historychannel.org>)

and, you could also do a search for MLA or APA sourcing on the web and it is free info
