• Business/SPEA Citation Guide
Examples of how to cite business information in both MLA and APA citation formats. The Purdue OWL is a good source of general citation information. Citing sources often involves knowing whether evidence is common knowledge. MIT's "What is Common Knowledge" can help you explore this concept. The Writing Tutorial Services guide for "How to Use Evidence" can also be helpful for citation.
