I'm a novice at this type of documentation and I'm having a great deal of trouble figuring out exactly what content in my paper is relevant for endnoting. I've only ever used parathethical citation, so how can I narrow it down?
How do I determine which parts of my research paper should be referenced with endnotes?
If there is going to be a lot of referencing, you should try to footnote each page of your report. That allows the person reading it to cross-check the footnotes very easily, and still continue on reading in a more rhythmic manner. (Meaning not having to flip to the back for endnotes.) I ALWAYS check the noted sources as I am reading documented papers, if only to make notes for myself to double check references that seem incorrect to me.
The content that you should be footnoting is all borrowing phrases such as ' William Norton notes in his researches that there are more than 20% higher incidences of this outcome in heavy smokers, as opposed to non-smokers' (1)--and then you would give the publication under (1) in the footnotes.
Remember a good deal of a research paper needs to be the binding phrases, strictly in your own words, that marry together the findings of others, or compares the findings of others to your own. Every time someone elses research is mentioned it should be footnoted.
Reply:Anything that is not original ideas... if not you will be plagiarizing other work. If you plagiarize you may be kicked out of the college!
Reply:In my past experience with higher learning....the ENTIRE PAPER is referenced....Other than your opening paragraph(s) and your closing paragraph(s)!!!!
Reply:you should us end notes for anything that you quoted from anther source, such as a book or an online source.
Reply:The same as with (). You endnote what you got from other people. If your paper is completely from other sources, then the paper doesn't have anything of what you said on your own. Watch out too because some professors are really really strict on plagarism.
