Research Guidelines

Whenever you use another person’s materials, a parenthetical annotation is needed for academic honesty. You must attribute all ideas that come from your readings and research.

Immediately after the text that requires annotation, place a parenthetical with the author’s name and the page number(s) you are citing.

Example: Some libraries use filtering devices to protect children from materials deemed unsuitable or obscene (Smith, pp. 21-22).

At the end of the paper, create a bibliography that lists, alphabetically by author, each source contained in a parenthetical. Each entry should include as much information as you can provide, typically author, title, journal title, volume, date, page numbers, etc.

For internet sources, provide as much of the above information as is available, plus the address and the date visited. If the internet source lacks an author, incorporate it in the alphabetized bibliography by title, address, or whatever seems to make the most sense to you.
