    Study Notes

    Citation and Its Importance

    • Citation is an organized method of acknowledging literature sources used in a research paper, providing a formal reference to a published or unpublished source.
    • Citation serves as a defense against allegations of plagiarism and intellectual property issues.
    • It gives credit to other researchers, supports arguments, and identifies and organizes literature sources.

    In-text Citations

    • In-text citations are markers placed before or after quoted or paraphrased text, giving credit to the original authors.
    • Not all ideas in a research paper require in-text citations, such as original ideas, general knowledge, and common facts.
    • Examples of general knowledge include commonly known facts, such as the Philippines being an archipelago or Fidel V. Ramos being the 12th President of the Philippines.

    Types of In-text Citations

    • There are two forms of in-text citations: parenthetical and narrative.
    • Parenthetical citations place citation details inside parentheses at the end of the sentence.
    • Narrative citations incorporate the author's last name and year of publication into the sentence structure.

    Citation Formats

    • Different citation styles are used in various disciplines and fields of study.
    • The three common citation style guides are:
      • APA Style Guide (7th edition), commonly used in natural and physical sciences and social sciences.
      • MLA Style Guide (8th edition), used in humanities like language, arts, communication, and literature.
      • CMOS (17th edition), used in various fields.

    Primary and Secondary Sources

    • Primary sources contain information directly related to the research topic, such as reports on groundbreaking research, autobiographies, and official reports.
    • Secondary sources are indirectly related to the research topic, including biographies, critical studies, dictionaries, journal articles, and textbooks.
