HELP FINDING PEER REVIEWED ARTICLES
Most of the information you need to find must come from peer-reviewed articles. If you have not searched for peer reviewed articles before, watching the following videos will help.
REFERENCE YOUR SOURCES
You need to tell people where you got your information from. If everything on a given slide comes from the same article, then you can include a brief citation for the article in the corner of the slide (e.g. Smith & Jones, 2020). If the information on a slide comes from several articles, then ​

include a brief citation beside each bit of information. You should make the font size for the brief citation smaller than the main text as this should not be the focus of your presentation. The last slide of your presentation will be your APA-formatted reference list. Put the articles in alphabetical order and remove any hyperlinks. Make sure you know how to cite and create a reference list in APA format and style. If you want, you can upload your reference list to ChatGPT and ask it to reformat it in APA 7th edition. However, you STILL need to check it for accuracy!
​
One common error people make is with how they write DOIs. Specifically, they include the SUU library info in the DOI address. This is not correct because anyone who is outside of the SUU community will not be able to access the link. See the incorrect and correct ways to write DOIs below.
INCORRECT: https://doi-org.proxy.li.suu.edu:2443/10.1007/s00213-021-05994-6
CORRECT: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-021-05994-6

When you submit your slideshow to Canvas, you must also include a pdf or word doc of your APA-formatted reference list. I will be verifying that your DOIs work and that they are accurate!
