Notas do Editor
- Use the abstract to help you decide if you’re interested and to get a sense of what it is you’re going to be reading, which will help you understand.
- When paraphrasing both the words and the structure of the sentence have to be your own. Direct quotes often suggest that you don’t understand the material. Key scientific phrases don’t need to appear in quotes, neither do numeric findings, though they do need to be cited. What doesn’t need to be cited at all? Common knowledge.
- First you cite the article, then you cite the medium. For print you’re essentially done. For databases you add the database info. For online magazines it’s sometimes a little different. Includes the name of the online magazine and the publisher/sponsor which is often but not always the same. You can certainly use EasyBib but for this assignment you might find it easiest to create your own citations.
