Dental Problem-Based Learning Citations: Citing Resources for PBL

It is recommended that you cite each resource you use for your Learning Need correctly. Utilize the resources listed here in order to create your bibliographies. PBL Facilitators generally will not require you to use a particular citation style, but they do ask that you select a citation style and use it consistently. Some may ask you to annotate your bibliographies/citations with information regarding how you searched for a particular article or book.

Tip: These E-Book collections will automatically generate a citation for you (see examples from the databases below):
