- Cite your source in proper APA, MLA, or other required citation style: each of your entries will begin with a full bibliographic entry. For example: Robertson, A. (2012). Why fairy tales are important. Psychology Today. (13)2, 210-222.
- Summarize the source: a summary explains the main ideas of the source. Someone else should be able to read your summary and know exactly what the source is about.
- Evaluate the source: here’s your chance to write a brief paragraph or two to tell readers what you think about the source and how it fits into your own research.
