A known issue with some databases, including RaptorSearch, is the capitalization of article titles in the APA citations generated. In APA, only the first word of the title is capitalized. For example, this would be the correct capitalization of the title:
"Education is education, perhaps, but not when it's public affairs education."
Not:
"Education is Education, Perhaps, but not When it's Public Affairs Education."

MC Writing, Reading, & Language Centers
Tutors at the WRL Centers can provide feedback on your writing, including questions on properly citing your sources.
Citing sources provides credibility to your ideas and places them in an academic context. It is also an important part of academic integrity. Giving credit to other researchers and acknowledging their ideas avoids plagiarism.
