Sports Therapy References & Resources

As you start diving into more complex topics and curriculum content, you may find that you need to supplement your content with outside sources. These sources may include but are not limited to: newspaper articles, research articles, and/or images.

Why shouldn't I use Google and Wikipedia for this?

1) You are publishing an academic product which means that your product should be supported by reliable and valid sources. Google and Wikipedia WILL NOT always be able to provide reliable and valid sources.

2) When publishing an academic source, you MUST give credit or provide a citation to the original sources that you used to support your learning. Google and Wikipedia WILL NOT provide these for you. The research databases on the STMC learning network will craft the citations for you.

Work smart, not hard.

I need resources and images that can help me.

Most of your needs for this course will be met using World Book and Gale.

I need help using and navigating World Book and Gale to find stuff!

World Book is an encyclopedia. Use it to find basic introductory information.

Gale has magazine articles, newspaper articles, research articles, and images that you can use. It is probably the most helpful database that you will come across for your eSportfolio.

I need help citing the article I used.

Both World Book and Gale will have citations that you can copy and paste embedded in their article. You should put this at the BOTTOM of your eSportfolio page under the title "Works Cited".

If you are looking to cite IN your paragraph, for most articles, it will be (Author's last name, p. #). If there is no page number, author's last name or editor or creator is appropriate.

Here's an example of a page with proper citations.

Citing videos:

In text citation: (Author or Publisher or Artist)
Works Cited Page: Author/Publisher/Artist. "Title of Video."; Where you found the video, date month year video was published, link.Accessed date month year.

Citing images:

Image found online:

In text citation: Fig. #1 Author (first, last); "Title"; Container, date, URL; medium. This should go under the image as if it is a caption.
Works Cited Page: Last Name, First Name. "Title." Container, date, URL. Accessed date.

How should I format my "Works Cited"?

This will depend on your preference.

1) You may choose to put your "Works Cited" at the bottom of each of your pages like in this example.

2) You may choose to have a separate "Works Cited" page where you include ALL of your citations.

NOTE: Your citations must be arranged and organized in alphabetical order.
