Checklist:


Did you include the correct publishing date? E-books are often re-releases of a physical print-version. The year published you are supposed to use is marked with the copyright logo on the title page and not the original year published.

Test yourself!

When do you need to use “et al.” in the citation parenthesis when you’re citing in your text?
Correct, if a book has three or more authors you’re supposed to cite with “et al.”.
This is incorrect, give it another try.
What will you do if there are no page numbers in an e-book?
Correct, you can count paragraphs in the e-book.
This is not right, give it another try.
Which publishing date do you use for e-books?
Correct, you are using the copyright year and not the original year of the physical edition.
This is not right, give it another try.
