LEO Topic assignment: I would like to know how to write citations and documentations

Most of the time, it is really hard to know to make citations or documentations. What should i write for enough information? Where should i write it and how? However, i choose this topic because it is necessary to cite your sources; a paper has to show any details including specific number where i found it. Any wrong citations or documentations could be called "Plagiarism" which is something illegal; it is using someone's ideas. When writing a paper introducing and integrating source material in a paper, it has to be cite by two styles such as APA styles and MLA styles. Therefore, our own word are more interesting in a paper rather than copy and paste from someone else. In the time, you using citations or documentations;Be sure:

  • Which styles to use: APA styles with APA in text-citation or APA references pages, or MLA styles with MLA in text-citation or MLA works cited pages
  • Avoid "Plagiarism"
  • Using quotations, punctuating quotations  and paragraphing.
Furthermore, checking with some others websites can be helpful for improve your skills about citations or documentations.
