How to Reference E-medicine Articles

Knowing how to cite all sources used in a paper can be difficult, but by following the guidelines set forward by the American Psychological Association (APA), citing eMedicine can be done in a few steps. Because eMedicine is a website, you will treat any article quoted or paraphrased from the site as an article in a website. Try to find sources written by those holding a Ph.D. or M.D. to legitimize the source. (Resource 1)
