the references at the end are those that were used in the article. That is not what I want, I need to reference the article itself which is in the courseware packet.

Depends on what style of referencing you are using. I am most familiar with APA so you would use the format of:

Author/s. (Publication Date). Title of article. Name of Journal, Volume Number(Issue
Number),
page numbers.

Example:
Spar, D. (2005, May). For love and money: The political economy of commercial
surrogacy. Review of International Political Economy, 12(2), 287-309.

Notes:
- capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the article title
- capitalize the significant words that make up the journal name
- italicize the journal name, volume number and issue number

Here is a really useful site that explains how to cite anything:
http://owl.english.purdue.ed u/owl/

(Look under research and citation)

Hope this helps! Good luck.

ok great thanks I just wasn't sure if it was different since it is in my courseware. Just out of curiosity are you in Health studies 2H03, I am just asking because the example citation you gave was an article in my courseware for that course

Yes I am haha, just finished my paper . Professor Rault said it does not matter what referencing style you use as long as it is consistent. On Monday, she said the references in the courseware are not full and you need to format into the referencing style. As well, make sure you reference the movie.

Ok cool, yeah I finished my paper I am just trying to do the Reference page right now. Yeah I used APA I belive hahaha. Would you mind just checking this over if you don't mind:

For in-text I did for instance- She claims in her article that "These women often claimed that they were uncomfortable with the idea of people looking at them. This in part stemmed from the feeling that their bodies were less attractive during pregnancy" (Longhurst, p. 458).

And then for the Reference page I wrote for example:

Adriao, K.G. et al. (2002). Working with Men on Health and Sexual and Reproductive Rights from a Gender Perspective: Experiences from Northeast Brazil. Realizing Rights: Transforming Approaches to Sexual and Reproductive Well-being, 199-208

Is that ok, am I doing it write? Thanks for your help
