How to document facts in research paper.?

How to document facts in research paper.?
exact same way





whether it's a direct quote or a paraphrase, you need to cite ANYTHING that is not common knowledge or your own idea
Reply:You reference to it in the body of your work whenever you quote the work directly, or indirectly use the info it provides in a form like the following (Jones, p.21) If you reference it frequently you can just name pages (p.30) until your source switches (Wikipedia).





At the end, you will want a bibiliography/Works Cited page, written in MLA format. Hopefully you know how to do this already, if not there are guides on line how to do it, or books on MLA style at your local bookstore.





Or if you want to be really lazy about it, go to bibme.com and type in your sources, and it'll create a works cited page for you.
