Question

If I wrote a paper that is based solely on one web based simulation, how do I do an "in text citation"? I reference the simulation several times, both specifically and indirectly.

Answer 1

What type of citing format is it? MLA? APA?

Answer 2

What style of citation is it?

Answer 3

Sorry, APA format

Answer 4

I would say make the in text citation based off of who created the program. So just (Last Name).

then go to computer software / downloaded software

If this isn't it, could you explain what the web based simulation is?

Answer 5

Thanks, that helped a lot. The simulation was an online simulation of how to respond in a disaster event. It was really well done. After, we wrote a paper responding to how we would respond as a nurse, after watching and participating in the simulation. Since the paper was completely, but broadly, based on my learning from the simulation along with my previous knowledge, I was unsure how to put in the "in text citations'" The criticism for the paper was based mostly on the lack of in-text citations. I figured that might be an issue, but still am unsure of how to add those, when the paper is so broadly based on the web site.

Answer 6

Whenever you use any information from the program, you need to use an intext citation.

Answer 7

Thank you. I added the information based on your input. I'm waiting for the response. Fingers crossed. Thanks again.
