| Good references websites for papers
Do you guys any online reference website for writing papers? I like to spew bs on my papers but they want sources so im planning to put in random book sources that can be found online.

I just finished writing a paper a couple of hours ago, actually. I used relevant sources without any bullshit.
My tip to you? Do it right. Even the laziest of the lazy can find, at the very least, one source.
Don't be a dumb ass.

Well, most basic database for articles is this: http://www.vpl.ca/extDB/login.remote...micSearchElite
You need a library card to gain access.

I'm pretty sure you can find one source...
Otherwise theres places like JSTOR, or if youre at a college/university, you should have access to a database.

what grade are you in ? please don't say college or uni, getting caught with bs sources is not as rare as you think, there were always a few in every one of my classes in college that had to stay behind after a term paper and etc to have a "talk"

I hope you're in highschool,
Every post-secondary institute's library gives you access to a huge number of real online journals and journal directories.
Also, do your papers properly, even if you skim the articles to find your arguments it's better than making shit up and plugging in references.

There is no way OP is in college or uni.
What's the topic on?
Pubmed is good. A lot of their papers don't need a a subscription service.
Or use google scholar and look at where the journal/article iss published from. Obviously, don't use a bs source.
Though, if this is highschool they don't really care which source you use. I remember I was allowed to use random internet sources I could find on google. Just use google scholar.
Use the encyclopedia, that's always a gimmie. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Then use the textbook as a source. I believe there is also a way to cite lectures. Posted via RS Mobile | |
