This site has a lot of information regarding works cited, basic paper formatting, etc.
Weirdly, information on this topic varies, overlaps, etc. An alternate source.
You can use this site to a lmited degree to automatically generate citations for you, but it can be a little nutty so you should always double check whatever it spits back at you.
Somebody sent me this the other day. I haven't really used it yet. Allegedly you can paste your paper into it and it will tell you all sorts of things that are wrong. Let me know how this works if you use it.
Where might we go for additional information, you might ask?
- Use the Every Day Writer pages 369-419 to look up specific citation/formatting questions. Particularly, the student essay sample, pages 410-419 is a real hoot.
- Chapters 11 and 12 of The Curious Writer are all about writing a research paper. Check it out why not.
Writing the sketch:
You will be bringing a sketch of your personal research paper to class this Wednesday. Instructions plus an example sketch are available in The Curious Writer page 459.
That's all for now. Check back throughout the week as I may add additional information/resources. Writing this paper is going to be so awesome you guys.
