It is crucial that beginning and emerging academics learn some of the key rules about citing articles and giving proper attribution of ideas. In this article, I cover some of the basics that students and emerging scholars must pay attention to. First, I discuss the importance of accurately citing articles, and how to avoid mistakes in providing attribution. Next, I discuss the importance of following a specific writing and bibliography style. I overview the major styles, which include APA, MLA, Chicago, and IEEE. I then explain why it is crucial to have an accurate bibliography, and some of the common pitfalls I suggest that emerging scholars avoid. Finally, I introduce and recommend the use of citation managers. In doing so, I overview the four major citation managers that are available to most academics throughout the world. |
