An example of a citation style is the National Library of Medicine style.

The citation example below is for this article. Look at this article, then compare to the example below. When you cite journal articles sources for your work in the class, render them in the same style as you see below.

See Citing Medicine2nd edition to see how to reference journals, websites, books, newspapers and other resources. Note: from this guide: "Journals are a particular type of periodical. These same rules and examples can be used for magazines and other types of periodicals."  

Make sure to include citations in your presentation for your citations, either at the bottom of the slide(s) or batched at the end of the Powerpoint.


IN-TEXT CITATIONS

According to this guide, NLM recognizes three types of "in-text" citations. In other words, this is how *from within the text of your document* you create pointers down to the list of references at the end of the document.  Look over the examples here.

See also In-text Citations:
"References are presented in two ways in medical publications. At the end of a journal article, book, or book chapter, all of the references that contributed to the work are presented in a list called references, end references, literature cited, or bibliography. Within the text of a publication, individual references are presented in an abbreviated format that refers back to the list. These abbreviated references within the text are called 'in-text references.'"
