what form(s) of documentation is (are) required in all assignments using outside sources?

 When completing assignments that involve outside sources, proper documentation is crucial to avoid plagiarism and give credit to the original authors or creators of the information you use. The specific form of documentation depends on the citation style or format specified by your instructor or institution. Here are some commonly used documentation styles and the forms of documentation they require:

  1. APA (American Psychological Association):

    • In-text citations include the author's last name and the publication year (Smith, 2020).
    • A corresponding reference list at the end of the document provides detailed information about each source.
  2. MLA (Modern Language Association):

    • In-text citations include the author's last name and the page number (Smith 45).
    • A Works Cited page at the end of the document provides detailed information about each source.
  3. Chicago/Turabian:

    • Chicago style allows for two different citation styles: notes and bibliography or author-date.
    • Notes and bibliography use footnotes or endnotes for in-text citations and include a bibliography.
    • Author-date style uses parenthetical citations in the text and includes a reference list.
  4. Harvard:

    • In-text citations include the author's last name and the publication year (Smith 2020).
    • A corresponding reference list at the end of the document provides detailed information about each source.
  5. IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers):

    • In-text citations are typically numbered and correspond to a numbered reference list at the end of the document.
  6. AMA (American Medical Association):

    • In-text citations are typically numbered and correspond to a numbered reference list at the end of the document.
  7. CSE (Council of Science Editors):

    • In-text citations are typically numbered and correspond to a numbered reference list at the end of the document.

When using outside sources in your assignments, it's important to provide accurate and complete information for each source, including the author's name, publication date, title, and publication information. Failing to properly cite sources can lead to accusations of plagiarism, which is a serious academic offense. Always check with your instructor or refer to the assignment guidelines for the specific documentation style required for your assignments.
