Integrating Sources Summary

Introduction
In order to support your idea, you need to have a good citation. Knowledge is built up Knowledge which means that a new knowledge is coming out from studying the already-known knowledge and conclude in to a new point of idea. As a result, the citation in an essay can be specify in to two catalogs: The primer source and secondary source. The primer ones is supported by the secondary ones. This would allows not only to support your idea but also to proof that your information is trustful to the readers.

Integrating Sources into a Paper
Before adding information in to your paper, there are a lots of things you need to be aware of . When summarizing a idea from another author in order to support yours, you need to do the following task.The first thing is to paraphrase. Then make the summary clear that you are summarizing not making a new idea and having your own opinion on the other author's idea. The last one is do not integrate far far alway from your idea. You need to make your reason of why you giving the readers the infromation.
Besides the summary of other's idea, using quating is another method of in tergating information to your paper. However, we should use quating only when it is better that paraphrasing and becareful of the rules of comma, close quatation marks,open quatation marks,etc. We can also quate a block if the quating is more than 10 sentances. Because we are giving out so much information in our paper, we should provide some footnot for the readers in order to read our essay more easily.

Citing Sources
We should be becareful og citing. There is time good to citi and time that is not. Beside there are bunches of rules of when to and when to not citing, I summarized them in to two main point. The first one is only use citation when they are strongly related to your idea but not to domaniting your essay since this is your essay not the others. The second point is do not make yourselves appear to be stupid in your own essay that you keep talking somthing everybody know and keep saying other's idea but not yours.
After you have consider what to citi, you need to do some technical work for the citing sources. Founding out what fromate your are using in your essay and follow the countries's rules where your essay will be presented.

Misuse of Sources
No ones want to be SUED because of plagiarism.
So, we had to clearify where the sources is and say it in our own way in order to show we are not just coping it from others. If you are working in a group, there is a potential risk of plagiarism since you ar all work together and share each other comments. You should only discuss and take note but not to speak out what your paper is. The last one is misunderstood an information or using an incorrect information. Your had to totally understand what you have read and critique it in your mind in order to see if it is right for your essay and not a joke.

Styles of Documentation
In this section, it is simply telling us about what format we can use in citation. citation can be presented in footnote, graphic, text, special information from a special field( for example, science),etc. After all, remember to referance all your sources at the end that your readers can refer to the informations.
