Study Notes

  • Citations are used to present information from books, magazines, newspapers, and other secondary sources.
  • Related studies present published studies related to the research topic, discussing relevant research conducted on a particular topic (e.g. theses, dissertations).
  • Reviews of related literature and studies provide an overview of current knowledge (theories, methods), highlighting gaps in existing research. It involves finding and explaining publications, critically analyzing them.
  • A review goes beyond summary; it analyzes, synthesizes, and evaluates sources, to show the current state of knowledge on a topic.
  • Literature and studies need to be recent and relevant for the study. They must be objective and fair.
  • Blogs are websites containing a writer's experiences, observations, opinions, links to other websites (often with images). They contain personal reflections, comments, links, videos, and photographs.

In-Text and End-Reference Citations

  • In-text citations are used within the body of the research paper.
  • End-reference citations are located at the end of the paper, showing details of all cited information (e.g. author names, publication year, title etc.)
  • These ensure that the work is properly attributed.

Summarizing, Paraphrasing and Quoting

  • Paraphrasing is rephrasing or restating author's words and thoughts into your own words.
    • Strategies include: rewording, rearranging, keeping unchanged parts (e.g. names, dates). Recheck the paraphrase means the same as original.
  • Summarizing is putting the main idea(s) of someone else's writing into your own words.
    • Guidelines: read and comprehend the text, identify main ideas and key points, express the information in your own words
  • Quoting means using the author's exact words. Quotes are put in quotation marks and referenced.
  • Quoting is advisable when highlighting specific sentences/passages or comparing/contrasting specific points of view. Paragraph quotes are better paraphrased or summarized.
  • Copying and pasting a sentence/paragraph and adding quotation marks alone is NOT sufficient for proper citation.

APA Citation Style

  • APA (American Psychological Association) style is a citation style used widely for academic papers.
  • It is used for in-text citations (with one, two or more authors) and end-reference citations for papers.
