Introduction |
|
This information is based on A Writer's Reference by Diana Hacker (4th Edition, 1999) |
|
|
|
When writing a research paper, you
must document any borrowed information. This serves two purposes: 1. Gives credit to the originator of the information 2. Provides the source of the information |
|
Any idea or fact that is considered
"common knowledge" does not need documentation. Everything else should be
documented according to the rules established by the Modern Language Association (MLA). |
