Article Summary:
- Within the summary students are to include, and cite the source they used. Your source should be referenced WITHIN the summary and not just listed at the bottom of the page. EXAMPLE of internal citation: According to the Mayo Clinic’s 2021 survey, 53% of dentist found flossing reduces cavities.
