documenting evidence

Hi and salam everyone. Now, we continue with the documenting evidence. This is an important situation where is not only students who are doing this documenting evidence. But, all over the researcher or everyone all over the world who are doing the assignment. So, we should know how to make a citation. There are many ways to do the citation. Books, journal, magazine, articles, newspaper, online newspaper, online magazine, websites article and etc. we should learn how to do the citation to avoid the plagiarist.

There are a few reasons for documenting sources. Which are:

·         To let your reader know that you have done your assignment and building from the ideas and research of others.

·         To inform your reader where to locate the original document if they interested with it.

·         Surely to avoid plagiarism by giving appropriate credit where is it due.

In documentation are refers to the system you used to give a credit to your source acknowledging that you are using words, ideas, views or findings of others person. So, what I have learn is, there are three types of documentation style:

1.       MLA  ( MODERN LANGUANGE ASSICIATION)

2.       APA  ( AMERICAN PHYSCOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION)

3.       CBE  (COUNCIL OF BIOLOGY EDITORS)

Lastly, you guys must take note on this topic okay? Because it is important. So, till we meet again.

sourcing material

Good morning and salam to my lecturer and fellow friends.

When we talked much about plagiarist, surely we must take note all the elements that collaborate with plagiarism should we avoid.

Carefully when start to evaluating the sources that use can help to ensure all the sources are credible, reliable and relevant to writing in paper. Evaluating the reliability and credibility of sources on the internet is vital. So, when this requirement is fulfilled , the truth value of source is high , thus making the article are highly reliable.

In fact, when we start on writing assignment we should already know mostly to get the reliable materials. In making the assignment, we no need to know deep the topic extensively. The other ways to get some ideas of other writers. Therefore, we start to by looking for information from different sources.

In short, I have a checklist when seek for sources:

·         Have you guys checked the journal titles in the database that are related to your field of study?

·         Have you tried t looking for information using Google Scholar?

·         Have you looked at other sources?

·         Is the material and information current?

·         Have you evaluated the reliability of the online articles  you used?
