Welcome![edit]
Hello, Pcolina, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Citation style[edit]
There is a good introduction to citation at Help:Referencing for beginners and Wikipedia:Citing sources. Please see especially Wikipedia:Citing sources#What information to include. You need to include sufficient information to enable readers to find your source. Cites to the Ebsco host at your university do not help others to find the original sources. For example, these citations from the article Active design need to be fleshed out:
- http://0-eds.a.ebscohost.com.ignacio.usfca.edu/eds/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=dd58cfd5-e378-4968-a5df-eae46d398a51%40sessionmgr4009&vid=1&hid=4210
- http://0-eds.a.ebscohost.com.ignacio.usfca.edu/eds/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=f05c2c1b-356f-4bce-800d-13c3aeecda9e%40sessionmgr4010&vid=1&hid=4210
- http://0-eds.a.ebscohost.com.ignacio.usfca.edu/eds/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=bc9eeccb-76d9-4c54-9ea6-69a17afc8c16%40sessionmgr4010&vid=1&hid=4210
To provide an example, I have expanded your: <ref>http://0-occmed.oxfordjournals.org.ignacio.usfca.edu/content/66/5/408.full.pdf</ref> to <ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Engelen |first1=L. |display-authors=etal |year=2016 |title=Do active design buildings change health behaviour and workplace perceptions? |journal=Occupational Medicine |volume=66 |issue=5 |pages=408-411 |url=http://occmed.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/5/408 |subscription=yes |doi=10.1093/occmed/kqv213}}</ref> Note that I have left out the url to the Univ. of San Francisco, since that is specific to your school. I deleted your separate reference to just the abstract, since that is what one gets when going to the url before logging in to oxford journals, i.e. when one doesn't have a subscription. However, I do not have a clue about what you are citing in the three un-expanded ebscohost examples above. --Bejnar (talk) 19:15, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
