Referencing sources throughout paper?
I’m writing a paper for school and I have to reference my sources throughout my paper. It’s over a subject that I basically don’t know much about at all so the whole paper is pretty much coming from my references. Do I have to put a reference at the end of every sentence or can I do it at the end of a paragraph? I’m a bit confused on how to do this since I myself have such little knowledge on the subject.

If you are supposed to use APA, here is a good site.

Its generally okay to put the source at the end of every paragraph EXCEPT when you have direct quotes, then it should be directly at the end of the quote.

When I do internal references I usually do them MLA format. In which case you put your reference at the end of where you stopped using that source. So if one sentence cam from one source and the next seven sentences in the paragraph came from another source there should be two citations. The first citation after the first sentence and the second at the end of the paragraph.
For the official MLA format see:
