The IUPUI University Writing Center (UWC) is a free service available to all IUPUI students, faculty, and staff, at both the graduate and undergraduate level. It is a place where students can go for help with writing assignments and projects. The UWC offers students the opportunity to work one-on-one with experienced readers and writers.
The UWC offers two convenient locations: Cavanaugh Hall (CA 427) and University Library (UL 2125).
To schedule a tutoring session at either the Cavanaugh Hall location or University Library location, you may telephone the CA location at (317) 274-2049, telephone the UL location at (317) 278-8171, or visit either UWC location. You must provide both your name and your University ID number, at the time you schedule the session.
There are many reasons why it is so important to cite the sources you use in your research.
APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly used in the social sciences.
The style uses in-text citations in the author-date style. For example, (Jones 1998) or if you are using a direct quote (Jones, 1998, p. 199).
Reference List example of a citation from a journal article:

Digital images, just as any other source you use for a project or assignment, need to be used responsibly and with an awareness of copyright and ethical use. Most databases and web sites provide information about how their images can be used. It is important to read this information carefully, and comply with all usage guidelines especially if your work will be publicly available and not just turned into to your professor.
Guidelines for use can vary considerably and obtaining permission to use images can sometimes take a long time (e.g., weeks and months). Look for images that are public domain, open access, or published under a creative commons fair use license. This means you can use the image without asking permission, but with attribution, so long as it is for educational purposes.
