I have never done a research project and I don't understand how to do the reference page or the work cited for internet sources. Can you help? For example, I went to US Deparment of Health and Human Services Protecting the Privacy of Patients Health Information Second section Patient Protections First bullit Access to medical records. Where do I find the information like year, what do I use for author etc.? Thanks for your help.
All this depends on which style guide your instructor wants you to use. It'll probably be one of these:
MLA:
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/ (Scroll down to the bottom for links to details on different types of sources.)
(Broken Link Removed) (Hold your cursor over CITING SOURCES and then click on the type of source you need information for. Electronic Resources/Internet is the one to use for Internet information.)
APA:
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ (Again, scroll to the bottom for links to specifics.)

Chicago:

CBE:

Once you've determined which style you are to use, please repost. Tell us which style you are using and type in what you think a correct entry is for this particular resource. Then someone here will be able to let you know if you're on the right track or what.

Sure, I can help explain how to create a reference page or Works Cited for internet sources.
When citing an internet source like the one you mentioned from the US Department of Health and Human Services, you generally need to include the following information:
1. Author(s): Look for an individual or organization responsible for creating the content. In this case, the author would be the US Department of Health and Human Services.
2. Title of the Webpage or Article: In your example, the title is "Protecting the Privacy of Patients Health Information - Second section - Patient Protections - First bullet - Access to medical records."
3. Website Name: In this case, the website name is the US Department of Health and Human Services.
4. URL: The URL is the web address of the page you accessed. For this example, it would be the webpage address of the specific section you mentioned.
5. Date of Publication or Update: Look for the date when the information was originally published or last updated. It might be mentioned at the bottom of the article or webpage. If not, you can try to find the closest date available on the website (such as a copyright date) or use the "last accessed" date if no other date is available.
Here's an example of how you could format the reference:
US Department of Health and Human Services. "Protecting the Privacy of Patients Health Information - Second section - Patient Protections - First bullet - Access to medical records." US Department of Health and Human Services, URL. Accessed [date you accessed the webpage].
Remember to replace "URL" with the actual web address, and "[date you accessed the webpage]" with the date you visited the webpage.
It's important to note that different referencing styles (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) have slightly different formats and requirements. When doing academic work, it's essential to follow the specific style guide your teacher or institution requires.
If you're still unsure, it's always a good idea to consult a reliable style guide or ask your instructor for clarification.
