Work Citation

PublishedMay 16, 2016

Education is not only a product of formal learning, but is also created from engagements with others and our own research. Life is a continuous learning experience where new ideas come from articles we read, lectures we hear, or conducting research on the Internet.

If one ever wishes to express these ideas in conjunction with thoughts he/she has developed than one must give credit to the creator of those original ideas. If no acknowledgment is given then the result is plagiarism.

In order to avoid plagiarism one must record where specific information was found. Even though there are various citation styles depending on the type of information researched, every citation requires the same parts: Author, Title, Title of Periodical (if available), Volume (if available), Page(s), and Date. To make it easy, before doing a research paper create an organizational template to copy down this information as research is gathered.

There are various styling formats for work citations. The most common ones are MLA style, APA style, Chicago Manual of Style, and CBE style. Ones field of research will often dictate what style is used. Most college research is cited in the MLA Style (Modern Language Association). The American Psychological Association (APA) established its own style. It is mainly used for research in social and behavioral sciences. These sciences include psychology, sociology, anthropology, business, education, etc. The Chicago Manual of Style is commonly used in the publishing industry and may also be referred to as the Turabian style. CBE style is based on the rules set forth by the Council of Biology Editors and is used mainly for science research papers.

When creating a research paper or article one must see the Works Cited page as a part of the paper rather than an addition to it that requires more time and effort. By organizing the citation parts while conducting the research one will save time when it comes to creating the work citations.

Whether or not you need to supplement your cat’s diets with vitamins depends largely on their diet and current health status. The vitamins that cats need include both fat soluble and […]

by williamcromar In Vedic astrology, the three most outer planets of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn each cast a special aspect. The word aspect is actually not very accurate. Like many Western words that try to convey Eastern concepts, the actual word is “drishti” which means “look” or “glance”. For you see, in Vedic thinking, culture […]

Investors Chasing Uranium Mining Stocks, Again: A Favorite Emerges

by kwinkunks Fifty years ago, uranium fever hit Wall Street. It was then just a few years after a Navajo shepherd in New Mexico, by the name of Paddy Martinez, discovered yellow rocks on his property, mistaking them at first for gold. An avalanche of 1950s dollars (more valuable than the ones we have today) […]

by esomangraphics Exponential success is the mathematical process of multiplying numbers. Remember your math days and the different calculations you used. Remember that 4+4=8 and 4X4 is 16 but 4 to the 4th power is 256. Same numbers still math, same amount of effort of do the math on a calculator but look at the […]

One thing I can never come to terms with is weight. I won’t give you the diatribe about weight loss and how I managed to drop 75 pounds, because it would all be a lie. The fact is I’ve never been overweight and I’ve never had to count calories. My metabolism is ridiculously fast. I suppose a lot of it is genetics. However, this doesn’t steer me away from physical fitness and proper exercise. I practice martial arts and lift weights regularly. I figure I had better work to keep that metabolism going for when I hit 40 and 50. Besides I want to be strong, in shape, and set a good example for my children. No offense, but you should be doing the same thing. It’s imperative to get our kids started at a young age.

by tobiastoft Nothing is worse than seeing a small child who is obese. This is terrible! I often wonder what other cultures think when they visit the United States. They probably think we’re a bunch of fast food eating bums. They probably laugh at our poor diet and obesity pandemic. We’re supposed to be a […]
