Creating Works Cited

Best Practices for Works Cited in Storymaps

Always include citations within your Storymap for easy reference.  You can simply add a new text content block at the bottom of your Storymap.  Make sure to:

  • Numbers citations
  • Breaks citations into sections (Primary Research, Secondary Research, Image, Video, Audio)
 

Production Credits

You should include each individual and their respective role in the production in the footer of the Storymap.  Also include a short statement such as, “This project was produced for [course name] at [institution’s name] in [semester, year]”.
