  1. Doing Citation

  2. Things to cite - Cite anything you rely on for data or authoritative opinions. - Cite both quotes and paraphrases. - Cite personal communications such as e-mails, interviews, or conversations with professors if you rely on them for your paper

  3. Number of citations of a paper - It varies and there is no exact number - A couple per page is common in well-researched papers - More is fine

  4. Type of sources • Depends on how complicated your subject is • Depends on how intensively you’ve studied it • Depends on  how long your paper is

  5. Things to be include in citation *Discussion or Analysis For example:

  6. Specific rules of citation - Cite only texts you found in the normal course of your research and have actually used. - Cite all your sources openly and honestly

  7. Quotations How to quote: According to David M. Kennedy, Roosevelt began his new presidency “by reassuring his countrymen that ‘this great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.… The only thing we have to fear … is fear itself.’” And it is going to be like this: 99 Kennedy, Freedom from Fear, 134. The Roosevelt quote comes from his 1933 inaugural address

  8. Tips on citing web pages As you take notes, write down the -URL for the Web site or Web page -Name or description of the page or site -Date you accessed it Writing the name or description of a Web site is useful because if the URL changes (as they sometimes do), you still can find it by searching.As for the access date, some citation styles, such as APA and MLA, require it. Others, such as the Chicago Manual of Style, make it optional. They tell you to include it only when it’s relevant, such as for time-sensitive data.If sites are particularly useful, add them to your “favorites” list. If you add several sites for a paper, create a new category (or folder) named for the paper and drop the URLs into that. A folder will gather the sites in a single location and keep them from getting lost in your long list of favorites.
