As Internet plagiarism becomes a more serious issue, Answers.com has incorporated citation functionality, to help students cite their work. Clicking on the "Cite" button (which can be found next to each copyright at the bottom of each Answer Page), will direct them to a fully-formatted citation, ready to include in a bibliography. They can even choose from the MLA, Chicago and APA styles. Wikis (including Wikipedia) are collaborative Web pages that anyone can write, review, and edit. They are "refereed"in the sense that anyone who reads the information and wishes to change it can do so. There is no guarantee that professionals or subject experts have
contributed to the information found in a wiki.
AKA as you do not use wiki-anything in scholarly writing
For example, if we look up Dog Training on answers.com, citing would be:
Dog training. (2007, July 20). In Answers. The Q & A Community. Retrieved July 20, 2007, from dog training" class='external' title="dogtraining
Don't forget the hanging indent for all lines after the first one.
Or you can use the Cite option on the Answers.com page you're referencing. At the end of any definition page on Answers.com is a box with a list of Copyrights from that page. Click on the blue "Cite" button and get a ready made citiation. Click on APA to get in that format. Or use one of the other options, if you need a different style citation.
If you are looking to cite that source for a paper, you can use the Answers.com Citation tool. At the bottom of an Answers.com page - in the Copyrights box - you will see the word "Cite" to the right of the logo of the source from which you quoted. Click on that Cite button, and you will be taken to a screen with this text: "Cite this source from this AnswerPage."
