This book targets the two most prominent problems in current research-paper writing: the increase in unintentional plagiarism and the ineffective use of research source material. Designed as a supplementary textbook for both undergraduate and graduate courses, this book will help every student who uses research in writing. Included in this edition are coverage of research strategies and source selection (Chapter 2), a chapter on quoting sources effectively (Chapter 4), and a chapter on sentence patterns (Chapter 10). APA and MLA citation styles have been updated throughout the text.
The importance of using sources effectively -- Finding, choosing, and evaluating sources -- Preparing your sources -- Quoting effectively -- Paraphrasing and summarizing -- Avoiding plagiarism -- Putting it together -- Effective use -- Editing for accuracy -- Jump-starting your writing.
