Citing Images on PowerPoint Slides

The Behavioral Capstones are an academic presentation and images should be only included if it helps in the explanation or description of the topic. Below is a template for images retrieved from electronic sources.

Owner/Author/Creator. (Publication Date or n.d.). Title of the image                                       (italicized) [media type such as digital Image,                                                                  infograph,chart]. Retrieved from location (URL site). Copyright should                        be included.

Cite Personal Sources

Since content (i.e. images, videos or text) from private or friends-only Facebook pages or profiles is not retrievable by everyone it should be cited as a personal communication.

According to Jeff Hume-Pratuch (2010, May 8), manuscript editor for the American Psychological Society, personal photographs do not need be cited. You only need to cite works that are not your own. 

If your instructor requires you to cite personal photographs, then follow the personal communication format. Replace personal communication with personal photograph.
