Not Citing Your Sources

As You Research
? Keep careful notes of your sources
? Make printouts or copies of articles or book chapters
? Make sure you collect publication information for each source:
oAuthor(s) oChapter title or Article title oBook title or Journal/Magazine title oDate of publication oPublisher and place of publication oPage numbers
3
When to Cite a Source in Your Research Paper
? Always when you quote directly
? When the information is not common knowledge
? Whenever you paraphrase or summarize an author's words
Try to avoid saying, "Well, I already know a lot about this subject. I don't need any sources." That may be true, but the point of a research paper is
to gather knowledge from subject experts: people who have been trained in a certain field, worked in a certain field, and have advanced
degrees (master's or doctorate). You're still learning!

What is In-Text Citation?
In-text citations show your reader exactly which information came from a research source.
The in-text citation refers reader to the source on the References page.
APA uses the "author-date" method as shown below:
Example: Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease that often has hidden symptoms (Hacking, 1998).
