Annoying Ways People Use Sources Summary


     Prepare your reader for a quote by building up to it. Then parenthesize where your quotation came from. We should never start or end a paragraph with a quote. Always be clear to stay on topic, when writing, and give facts. Writings should have a comfortable flow. You should guide your readers thoughts as to what you want to convey. Use [ ] to show that you advised something in the quotation and add your advised words where it relates in the quote. This will have a positive effect on your readers. Always use current sources, old studies or research may not be "so" for the present time.
     When citing, include the authors name on your citation page and alphabetize by authors last name. Cite entries in your text should always match the entry on the citation page.
     Proof read your work. If possible, read it to someone. If it doesn't have flow or make sense, make the necessary changes.
