Allybama you should be nice to yourself you got to college that means you are alot smarther than you think :) Most colleges use the MLA Formatting and Style Guide in regards to your question.


It would take too long to explain how to do it. The best thing I can offer is a website which you can read and then do what is says on your research paper.


Here is the link:

Good luck i know you will be able to do it, and I hope you get a top mark on your research paper :)
Reply:I recommend MLA style...the way to cite a quote is after the quote. you would write: (author page) i can't remember if there should be a comma, but that you can research.





here is a great cite for doing your works cited page.

you might wanna rethink your sources. most prof's do not like wikipedia, because it is not reliable seeing that any1 can edit it. Research papers normally involve you using databases to find your information. i am in college also, and its not hard to find this information using a database. just log in to your library, and that should get you into the databases. good luck and happy writing!!
Reply:Most likely your teacher expects MLA style. Google MLA and you should be able to find exactly how to write the paper from the format to the citations.
