It is true that most people face challenges finding sources for their research. At times, one can come from many sources but choosing the reliable and credible ones is a step many fails. Many universities have a database for their students. The database gives students an easy time to select sources such as journals, books among other relevant sources. On the other hand, there are excellent websites that have been established and has come to rescue for many researchers and students. This discussion aims at elaborating other useful sites that aid referencing apart from https://owl.english.purdue.edu/.

I admit that OWL Purdue has been a gold mine to many in research. However, there are similar sites that I have liked over the years. Specifically, I have used EasyBib for some time. I have noted that the site has a user friendly interface that any student can understand. The site is helpful to any researcher because once one searches any help they need, the site outlines them all with demonstrations.

With regards to APA style formatting, I realized that https://www.citefast.com/?s=APA#_Webpage is a site that enables a researcher to get credible sources. It is a site that is useful for research and gathering of a wider variety of sources. The site offers referencing and citation for APA, MLA, and Chicago. A user selects the referencing style first before he or she enters the keywords of the source. It also outlines sources including, Journals, Books, Web Page, Online Video, Newspapers and web images. The site is easy to use as it offers a researcher a wider opportunity to select from.

To demonstrate on how to use https://www.citefast.com/?s=APA#_Webpage, I choose a research topic, Selecting Research Methods for a Research. Once at the site, I choose APA style and click on Journals. Down below it, there is a space for typing the keyword of what the researcher wants to look for. In my case, I need resources on topic; Selecting Research Methods for a Research. Once the keyword is typed and the search icon clicked, the site outlines various journals that pertain to the keyword. Once a source is identified, it is saved. The site organizes the source in accordance with the style selected says APA. For my case, I selected

Hage, J. (1975). Theoretical Decision Rules for Selecting Research Designs. Sociological Methods & Research, 4(2), 131-165. Doi: 10.1177/004912417500400201.

Once the references are selected, the site organizes them in alphabetical order. One can confirm the order of the reference if it satisfies APA style requirements. It also gives a guide to in-text citation of the selected source.

For a website, a user changes search tool from journal to web page. The URL is typed as the keyword and the site automatically generates its format in APA. For instance, when the URL page, https://apus.libguides.com/research_methods_guide/research_methods_design, is pasted and searched, it outlines as shown below.
