• This the last chapter for this course.
• Here are some styles when writing citation for your research paper.
  • American Psychological Association (APA).
  • Chicago Manual Style (CMS).
  • Modern Language Association (MLA).
  • Turabian.
• Based on the lecturer experiences, please always check the citation format. In this case she often accidentally mixed one to another.
• Most professors in the university have a preferred citation style.
• Usually in the latest chapter of your paper there would be bibliography.
• Bibliography sorted alphabetically.
• However when sorting bibliography you should ignore these words.
  • A.
  • An.
  • The.
• Basically do not count the first article in the title when sorting your references in the bibliography.
• MLA.
  • MLA usually used in humanitarian area.
  • MLA uses in - line citation (or you could say in - text citation as well).
    • Only the author and then the book's page.
    • There are multiple conditions for this case.
    • Please consult back to the screenshot I will make in later note.
  • I think I need to always put the complete citation in the back of the page, whether if I put the reference as in - text citation or not.
  • Only the first author that will be in reversed (the last name first then mention the first name).
  • If there are more than one author, the second (and so on) author retain to be as it is (first name, then their last name).
  • It is possible to have a reference without the author mentioned.
• APA.
  • APA mainly used for science area.
  • APA never use "and" but use & (ampersand).
• CMS.
  • CMS is more traditional citation format.
  • I heard that, the first foot note for the first citation (?).
  • I think, I can use both foot note and in - text citation for this style.
• There is nothing mentioned in case your reference author is an organization.
• There is DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for website.
• You should mention DOI in your bibliography if it is exists.
  • However, I remember that the usage of DOI only for certain style.
  • I think the usage of DOI is used for CMS style. But, I cannot be so sure.
• There is annotated bibliography as well.
  • This is a citation with your own personal conclusion.
• Use left justification whenever possible for your research paper (it means left aligned).
• Always keep your writing checklist.
