Homework Help | | | I am creating a power point presentation on the act of plagiarism and I am very concerened about citing my sources. I am required to have a final slide to act as a reference page but should I cite my souces on each separate slide? And if yes, how should I go about it (like in parentheses)?
| | A. | i think that you should put them all on one slide- that way if the teacher were to suspect that you were in the act of plaigerism then it would be harder for him to seperate all the sources. So list them all together without pressing enter between them. It works. | | | |

Example:
At the time, South Africa was flourishing with gold and diamond sightings. This supplied plenty of work for the bankers who funded the discoverers of the gold and diamonds. Not long after did this move to South Africa prove to be beneficial. On April 16, 1891, Arthur and Mabel exchanged wedding vows in Cape Town, South Africa. (Willett 10: de Koster 15)

| Q. | Citing Sources When You Know Nothing About Your Topic? | Related Search:
Homework Help | | | I'm writing a philosophy paper on Carbon Emissions and I pretty don't know anything about them. I have plenty of sources. The usual guideline for citing is to cite things you didn't know but if that were the case I would be citing the whole paper. Do I need to cite information I've come across in every one of my sources? To me that would seem like general knowledge. I know I have to cite specific facts that are only in one source. I'm confused. I don't want a whole paper with citations at the end of every sentence!
| | A. | I'd like to see how others answer this.
My thoughts (such as they are):
When in doubt, cite.
Having said that, when you quote, paraphrase, or summarize the work of others, or use facts, information, or data from a particular source, you must acknowledge the source. Actually, you must also cite your own previous works if you include your ideas from them in a new work (weird, but true).
But if the fact or information is generally known and accepted (common knowledge) you do not need to cite the source.
What may be considered common knowledge will vary with your assignment and your intended audience. In general, only long-established ideas, especially those based on the work of a large number of people, count as common knowledge. Current news is also usually common enough knowledge to go uncited, unless you are getting into the specifics of a news event. If your classmates are your intended audience, material covered in class may be considered common knowledge for them. | | | |

Words & Wordplay | | | 1. What is common knowledge, and what does it have to do with citing sources?
2. What are direct quotations, summaries, and paraphrases? Do they need to be cited?
3. What are in-text (or parenthetical) citations?
4. What information must be included in the in-text citation?
5. What is a References page?
| | A. | 1. common knowledge is something that "everybody" knows, and doesn't need to be cited. traffic lights change from green to yellow to red, if this is something that you are directly quoting you do not need to cite it because it is common knowledge.
2. Direct quotes and paraphrases need to be cited. You must give the person who thought up the idea credit for their work. Direct quotes are word for word pulled from the text and set off by quotes. Paraphrases are you changing a few words but keeping most of the information the same. Summaries are a little difficult, sometimes you need to cite if it is an idea that is original to the author, but if you are just painting in broad strokes then you do not need to cite.
4. in-text citation is typically author's last name and page number
5. reference page is the last page of your paper where you list every reference that you have used in your paper using a particular format.

| Q. | When citing sources, what is the difference between a "journal article" and "an article in a periodical?"? | Related Search:
Higher Education (University ) | | | I use Microsoft Office 2008 to help me cite all my sources, but it offers me the choice between journal article and article in a periodical. What is the difference between the two? I always imagined a journal was more focused on a theme and professional, but that would not explain any difference in the way it is cited, would it?
I agree, but it is very useful because when you enter the information it keeps it saved for you, and if you use the same source for another class, lesson, you only need to add it in. It is also easier. Yes, it does make mistakes, and very infrequently, I have had to go through and manually rewrite my bibliography because Word was wrong.
Great info about volume and issue number, I think you're right on there, I hadn't considered that.
You're a peach!
| | A. | It can be, because journal articles usually have volume numbers and numbers and periodicals often go by the date. Otherwise, magazines and journals should be the same, though, so I don't see why they would be different.
"Periodical" could refer to newspapers in Word--is there a specific category for newspapers? Newspapers are cited WAY different, including the full date, section letters/numbers, etc.
I don't trust Word to cite your sources correctly, though. (I don't trust it to do very much correctly, really). If Word's grammar check is anything like its citation capabilities, it's not very helpful. Try this website for citing things: [Link] . It's much better. | | | |
