You will need to re-read your paper several times. A good strategy is to read your paper backwards. In this way, you will feel a little disoriented and will be able to catch more mistakes. You should start reading the last sentence, then check the second to the last one and continue doing it until you get to your first sentence.

You should ask your friends or family members to review your research paper and express their opinion about it. They should evaluate your argument, transitions, and the balance and look for any inconsistencies with usage, grammar or mechanics. Ask your friends to provide their feedback and make suggested changes if you think they make sense. Finally, you may print your paper and proofread it to eliminate minor mistakes or typos and ensure that your amazing research paper is flawless.

Appendix 3

WRITING A LIST OF REFERENCES

An alphabetical list of references is placed at the end of your assignment. This list gives the full publication details of each source you cited in your assignment so that your reader can consult the same sources that you have used.

A REFERENCE LIST is a formatted list of all sources you cited within your paper. Any time you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or include information that you have read from an outside source, you must include that source in your references list, correctly formatted.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY is a wider list of readings that includes both in-text references and other sources which may have informed your thinking on the topic, but may not have been placed as an in-text reference in your assignment. Make sure you know whether a reference list or bibliography is required for the unit you are studying.

When you write your reference list, you need to analyse the patterns of each reference type. Some basic details that you need to look for are authors/no authors, dates/no dates, titles, editions and publishers, pages, DOIs or /URLs, depending on the type of reference you need.

Each item in your references list requires general publication information, including but not limited to:

Author’s name;

Year of publication;

Title;

Source.

Because there are many types of sources, additional information may be required. You will see the most common kinds of sources in the sample references list below.

There are unique formatting rules to follow for each reference entry, but generally, remember these key rules for the whole references list:

92

Center the word “References” in bold font at the top of a new page.

Double spacing is used throughout this page.

Alphabetize entries by authors’ last names.

Create a hanging indent for each individual source you add to the list. A hanging indent is where the second and all the following lines of a paragraph are indented more than the first. To make a hanging indent, highlight your citation and use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+T.
