• So again the ImageMagick screwed over my numbering.
• Whatever! Perhaps, I will just make Python script in the future that will help me to convert image more cautiously using ImageMagick.
• For now, here is my summary to the research paper course I took from Lynda.

• There is this citation style guide reference PDF.
  • http://www2.isu.edu/success/writing/handouts/comparing_citation.pdf.
  • https://owl.english.purdue.edu/media/pdf/20110928111055_949.pdf.
• I have download all the PDFs and attach it in this note.

• Specific websites for each citation references.
  • http://www.apastyle.org/, APA.
  • http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/, CMS.
  • http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/turabian/turabian_citationguide.html, Turabian.
• The MLA website is a dud website.

• It is mandatory to have separate bibliography section in the end of every research paper, despite if there is already a footnotes or in - line citation.

• This point also exists in my previous notes.
• When you are making your bibliography section, you need to arrange the references alphabetically.
• However, when arranging things you do not need to bother the first word if it is a "A", "An", or "The".
  • Basically the article words.
• There are some examples in the screenshot above as well.

• Citation is used to protect the writer from plagiarism charges and inform the reader of the original source.
• So in essence, citation is benefit to both parties: the writer and the reader.

• Some examples.
• Due to the nature of this note that it is not as I what arranged before the image conversion, there are little to no information on which example belong to which styles.

• Please check with your instructor and professor.
• They usually has preferable citation style.

• Some other examples.

• The traditional style of citation, the CMS format uses a lot of Latin abbreviation.
• Check the screenshot above.

• Example of footnotes.
• The line above the footnotes is mandatory.

• Some examples.

• Online website usually has DOI (digital object identifier) to take the reader to the exact source.
• Usually there is a citation style that prefer DOI numbers than the website's URL itself.

• Another example.

• Annotated bibliography is a bibliography with additional words as a summary from the writer.
• The "writer" is the main writer and not the referenced article's writer.

• Choose an easy to read font.
• Or actually just stick from what it is usually used in research paper.

• Normal 1:1:1:1 margin.

• Add additional 0.5 inch ad the side where the paper binder is located.

• Example title page.
• There is a possibility that cover paper is not necessary.
• If not, than disregard this page.

• Example title for non - title page research paper.
• Both are correct.

• Example good title.

• Example of page numbering.

• Another example of page numbering.
• Here "Banks" is the writer last name.
• However, it is not mentioned what if there are more than one writer.

• Use indented paragraph instead of spacing paragraph.

• Use left - align.

• Some general good practices.
  • Always keep bigger picture in mind.
  • Choose interesting topic. This is to make sure your motivation.
  • Follow the rule. Follow the writing process.
• Give yourself enough time to focus on each steps. This means to not cram everything in a day or set of time.
