Does anyone know what citation I should use for an academic paper in biochemistry?(like MLA, ALA, or what?)
To properly cite sources in your research paper, you should follow a specific citation style, such as MLA, APA, or Chicago. Each style has its own guidelines for citing sources, including in-text citations and a works cited page. Consult a style guide or ask your professor for guidance on which style to use.
If you are unable to find all the necessary information for a citation, you should try to provide as much information as you can, such as the author's name, title of the source, publication date, and page numbers. If some information is missing, you can use "n.d." for no date or "n.p." for no publisher.
Yes, you can use websites as sources for your research paper. However, it is important to evaluate the credibility and reliability of the website before using it as a source. Look for information about the author, the organization or institution behind the website, and any potential biases.
Yes, you should cite your own ideas and opinions in a research paper if you are presenting them as original thoughts. This shows that you have done your own critical thinking and research on the topic. If your ideas or opinions are based on sources, you should also cite those sources.
To avoid plagiarism in your research paper, make sure to properly cite all sources used in your paper. This includes direct quotes, paraphrased information, and even ideas or opinions that are not your own. Additionally, make sure to use your own words and provide proper attribution when using another person's ideas or information.
