“Part V. Research and Documentation” in “Read, Think, Write”
Part V Research and Documentation
Many of the assignments you will encounter in your post-secondary courses will require you to include information from research in your essays. In this section, you will consider how to choose appropriate research sources; how to select material to include in your essay; how to integrate that information into your essay by quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing; and how to document research sources appropriately so that you don’t accidentally plagiarize.
As you will learn in Part 5, the correct documentation of research sources involves dozens of small details, all of which vary depending on which style guide you’re using. Therefore, Part 5 offers only an overview of the basics. Throughout, we will direct you to resources that provide more detailed information.
