Honors Project 2: Fuel Cells
Write the final draft of your project. Be sure to follow
these requirements and recommendations when completing
your draft:
•
Open a new Microsoft Word document. Type your name, your
teacher’s name, your school name, and
the date at the top of your document. To help your teacher
know from whom the project came, save the
file as:
CHEM_304B_11_01_Honors_Project_2_Final_Draft_FirstInitial_LastName.doc
Example:
CHEM_304B_10_01_Honors_Project_1_Final_Draft_M_Smith.doc
Type your project in the document you create.
•
The recommended length requirement for this project is 2–4
pages (600–1,200 words), double spaced,
using 12-point Times New Roman font. It is acceptable to
write more than this; however, not developing

In-Text Citations
Include a citation for every piece of information that is not
common knowledge. Also include
a citation every time you quote or closely paraphrase an
author’s words.
The in-text citation goes at the end of the sentence
containing the source information. The
citation belongs in parentheses. Provide only the author’s
last name and the page number
or numbers. Do not put a comma between the author’s name and
the page number. Books
and magazine articles use the same author-page form:
(Curry 19)
If the author’s name is not known, your citation should give
the title of the work and the
page number. Put the title of an article in quotation marks:
(“Free or Not, They Made a Contribution” 22)
For entries in encyclopedias or dictionaries, you do not have
to give the page number
because those reference books list entries in alphabetical
order. Give the title of the entry.
For example, if you cite the “Douglass, Frederick” entry in
Encyclopedia Britannica, write the
in-text citation as follows:
(“Douglass, Frederick”)
For websites, simply give the author’s name without the page
number. If a website does not
give the author’s name, cite the title of the site. Use
italics if you are citing an entire website
and quotation marks if you are citing a specific page within
a website:
(Curry)
(Africans in America)
(“People and Events”)
In-text citations may sound complicated, but they are
actually simple. The rules boil down
to one general principle: Give the author’s name and the page
number, if possible. If the
author’s name is not available, give the title.
The Works Cited Page
When writing a paper, the Works Cited list may begin on the
last page of your text or on a
separate page. This list includes all of the works you
actually cited. If you read and took
notes on a source but did not include it in your paper, do
not include it on your Works Cited
page.
On the Works Cited page, present all of the entries in a
single alphabetized list regardless of
type. Books, articles, websites, and other types of sources
all make up the one list. Entries
that begin with the author’s name and entries that begin with
the title are all alphabetized
together.
If a citation contains more than one line, indent all lines
after the first one.
Book
A citation for a book includes the following information, in
this order, with this punctuation:
Author’s Last Name, Author’s First Name. Title of Book. City:
Publisher, Publication Year.
Curry, Leonard P. The Free Black in Urban America, 1800–1850.
Chicago: U of Chicago P,
1981.
Article
A citation for an article includes the following information,
in this order, with this
punctuation:
Author’s Last Name, Author’s First Name. “Title of Article.”
Name of Periodical Day Month
Year: Pages.
Barstow, Emma. “How Free Blacks Lived.” American Past 6 July
2008: 32–35.
Note: There is no period after the name of the periodical.
Encyclopedia
A citation for an entry in an encyclopedia or dictionary
includes the following information,
in this order, with this punctuation:
Author’s Last and First Name (if available). “Title of
Article.” Name of Reference Work.
Edition. Publication Year.
“Slavery.” The Columbia Encyclopedia. 5th ed. 1993.
Website
A citation for a website includes the following information
in this order, with this
punctuation:
Author’s Last and First Name. “Title of Page.” Name of Entire
Website. Day Month Year of
creation or most recent update of website. Publisher or
Sponsor Information. Day Month
Year you accessed the website .
Tyson, Peter. “Living at Extremes.” NOVA Online Adventure:
Into the Abyss. 2000. WGBH
Educational Foundation. 15 Jan. 2007
.
At times, not all possible information is available; for
example, the name of the author of an
article or Web page may be missing. In such cases, you omit
that part of the citation. For
more information, refer to the MLA Handbook for Writers of
Research Papers, Sixth
Edition, by Joseph Gibaldi. You can also find good summaries
of citation form on several
websites, such as the following:
