An ideal place to start your ethics research is the Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics (2nd Ed.) This comprehensive online encyclopedia covers a broad range of ethical issues and includes over 100 new articles on current ethical issues ranging from cyborgs to the issues facing online social networking. Each article delivers a thorough introduction to its topic and concludes with a recommended reading list. Students may also browse the table of contents to generate ideas for topics.
Opposing Viewpoints Resources in Context (Gale) Provides a complete overview of both sides of a large number of ethical issues. Access information on social issues through viewpoint articles, topic overviews, statistics, primary documents, links to web sites and full-text magazine and newspaper articles.
In addition to MLA and APA, many ethics courses use the Chicago Manual of Style citation system. A PowerPoint presentation on Chicago Style can be found here.
