OpenStudy (anaise):

Biographic has something to do with one's life

OpenStudy (anaise):

Like how biography is written about someone's life

OpenStudy (jillianb91):

ya I know what a biography is…i just don't understand what a biographic citation is…because I'm suppose to write a complete biographic citation on an article in APA format

OpenStudy (anaise):

My best guess is a reference from someone's life I might be wrong

OpenStudy (anaise):

Sorry, ask your teacher ?

OpenStudy (jillianb91):

ya that is what I thought at first until i realize it said on the article so I'm almost thinking its like a bibliographic citation..

OpenStudy (jillianb91):

I would ask my teacher but I think maybe he's on holidays or something cuz he hasn't answered my emails...

OpenStudy (anaise):

Oooh

OpenStudy (jillianb91):

A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again. This information includes: Information about the author(s) or editor(s) The title of the work The name and location of the company that published your copy of the source The date your copy was published The page numbers of the material you are referencing

OpenStudy (devincoolage1001):

A bibliography is a list of all of the sources you have used in the process of researching your work. In general, a bibliography should include: the authors' names the titles of the works the names and locations of the companies that published your copies of the sources the dates your copies were published the page numbers of your sources (if they are part of multi-source volumes)
