Citation and References

Bulleted or numbered lists are generally not allowed in academic references. References should follow a specific citation style (e.g., APA, MLA) that typically involves listing sources in a specific format with proper indentation and punctuation.

There might not be any difference at all... you are talking about a type of quotation (direct or paraphrased usually), and the way the quotation is presented (block or embedded usually). You could embed a direct quotation into your text, as in Sally cried "GET AWAY from me you idiot monster" and ran as quickly as she could, with the monster on her heels. That is a direct quotation of Sally, and it is embedded in the text, not taken out and put on a separate line or in a block quotation. An inderect or paraphrased quotation would be more like Sally, hilariously, insulted the monster's intelligence as she ran. That is a paraphrase of what Sally actually said. In a research paper, both kinds of quotations need to have citations, but this kind is in my own words, and doesn't directly quote Sally at all... just indirectly, with a paraphrase. The quotation, however, is still embedded in the text and on the same line as everything else. For a non-embedded quotation, in a normal paper you would take it out as a block quotation: GET AWAY from me you idiot monster! Your Mother was Grendel and your Father was Cookie Monster. You're the most dumb, idiotic, freaky, slimy, joke of a monster that I have ever seen! Stop chasing me! I am just trying to bring you your stupid dinner! Stop! You IDIOT! In this sort of a quotation, the entire quotation is removed from the other text and indented together (a block quotation). In published materials, sometimes quotations will be put into separate text boxes and the font size will be enlarged... same idea. The quotation isn't embedded into the text anymore, but is instead separated and more attention is called to it.

In a citation within the text of a paper, the journal name is usually italicized and followed by the volume number, issue number (in parentheses), page range, and publication year. In the reference list at the end of the paper, the journal name is also italicized and followed by additional bibliographic information such as the article title, author names, and DOI.

"I remember getting the ticket" is describing something that happened in the past. For example, Sue could have lost her train ticket and she would say to her friend, "I remember getting the ticket." If she were to say, "I remember to get the ticket" it is not proper English and doesn't make sense

In MLA citation style, parenthetical citations include the author's last name and the page number where the information was found, usually placed at the end of the sentence. In contrast, end citations in MLA style usually appear on a separate page at the end of the document, listing all the sources cited in the text in alphabetical order by the author's last name. Both types of citations are essential for giving credit to sources and avoiding plagiarism.

I often describe an academic reference as "one that has teeth to be able to hold onto the rigors of academia." Then, I go on to say that there are several different types of references that can fit the criteria of being an academic reference. First, almost every discipline of study produces what are called professional journals. My particular genre is psychology and counseling. We have a plethora of journals that are published with articles that are, for the most part based on empirical research and have been peer reviewed (this means that other professionals within the discipline have reviewed the writing and agree that it is solid research and writing and is worthy of being included in the journal. Second, you can use books. In today's modern age people often forget that there are some amazing books still on the shelves. It depends on what field of study you are writing on as to how books are handled as academic references. When I was a doctoral student, I was not allowed (unless there was a very strong arguable reason) to use any book in my writing that were more than seven years-old. That can be tricky as books take time to write and publish. The third area that I address with my students is the Internet. The Internet is the most incredible resource of information since the movable printing press. However, a large percentage of the information that is on the Internet would not be considered academic resources. Most educational sites have solid information as the universities monitor (somewhat) the information that is placed on their sites thou this is no guarantee as a large university may have hundreds of thousands of individual pages within their .edu URL. Organizational sites (.org) may or may not have accurate information on their websites as is the case for .com's and .net's. I inform my students that when they write papers, I do go to the websites that they site and if the site is selling something, they better not use this as an academic reference. This doesn't mean that .com websites don't have wonderful information but, it is not what should be used in academic writing. The final Internet issue that is very important to address is that of Open Sources such as Wikipedia. These are wonderful places to go look for information such as how to build a birdhouse or to find out when daylight savings time is but, myself and most professors that I know (and I know many) will not accept Wikipedia or any other open source for academic writing. Why you might ask as it is an incredibly powerful site with heaps of information. The simple reason is that anyone can post anything and anyone can change anything that has been posted. That is the beauty of open source Internet sites. The world has created them and we are all invited to be experts (just as we are here on wiki.answers.com however, no one knows where the information comes from. To prove this point to my students several years ago, I created a dramatic yet completely untrue story about myself and my royal heritage and had them do Internet searches about me. They were quite surprised to find out the fascinating information about their professor and they almost bought it until the part about my wrestling tigers with my bare hands. There are other acceptable sources for academic writing but these are the three main sources that most students use for papers. I hope that helps. Dr. Patti (The tiger wrestler)

A jot list is used to quickly jot down important points, reminders, or tasks. It is helpful for organizing thoughts and keeping track of items that need attention or further action. Jot lists are often used for brainstorming, quick notes, or creating a to-do list for the day.

Answer

My current employer will give me a good reference because I have taken the time to explain to him/her that while I ejoyed working with them there seems to be nothing more I can give them, and that I want to better myself, that's why I am leaving to join another company.

Most employers at this stage will either offer you something better position wise, or money wise, and if they don't have anything to offer you, they will probably assure you that they will definitely give you a good reference because you took the time, to not only tell them about your decision to leave, but at the same time you are giving them a notice that you are leaving and giving them the chance to find someone to replace you.

Employers never or very rarely will forget that you made this jesture in parting and if you ever need another reference from them you would surely get one.

Individual business and personal references provide valuable insights into a person's character, work ethic, and reliability. They help potential employers or business partners gauge the individual's credibility and trustworthiness based on feedback from people who have interacted with them in professional or personal settings. References can serve as a way to verify qualifications and past experiences, giving confidence to those making decisions about engaging with or hiring an individual.

Yes, a reflection paper typically includes a conclusion where you summarize your main points, reflect on your learning or experience, and make any final insights or recommendations. A conclusion helps to tie your thoughts together and leave a lasting impression on the reader.

1. How are you aquainted with the individual listed?

5. how good or bad did you really think On a scale of 1-10 start 1 good to 10 really bad will you discrepant the individual listed above?

A reference list provides citations for the facts, opinions, or quotes that are made in an essay or thesis. It is like a bibliography, but tells you where things were in a book or other source.

In Minnesota, there is a statute of limitations for most civil lawsuits, including citations for traffic violations. The specific time limit can vary depending on the type of violation. Typically, the statute of limitations for a traffic citation is one year from the date of the offense. It's important to check the exact timeframe for the specific violation in question.

A citation is merely a term in academic referencing when the author has to inform the original source author that they are using there document it mainly occurs when there happens to be a model, diagram or specific theory involved.

you usually talk about the character of the person in a positive manner ( for insatnce that this person is eager to help people( some volunteer activities, talk about hobbies like this person is a quick learner, likes to learn new stuff and etc.... You should mention how long you have known the persons and what positive things you observed during that period of time and etc...

You simply state at the bottom..."References available upon request" Or don't say it at all, and just submit your 2 pages.

I would recommend sending them a polite email or call asking if they would be willing to serve as a reference for you. Be sure to provide context on the position you are applying for and to thank them for their support.

Professional references are listed first, followed by personal references if required. Usually the "strongest" reference is listed first, ie. the person who has the most knowledge of your work habits, skills and abilities and what you have contributed as an employee. Hopefully this will be your last boss! Personal references should also be listed this way, ie. a person who knows the most positive things about your character and can give examples that will illustrate your worthiness for the position.

Although some companies will hire people without references, having them certainly increases your chances of obtaining a job. Just list three people you used to work with (three friends, three relatives). I wouldn't use brothers, sisters or parents but if that is all the family you have, that will work. Anyone will work, it doesn't have to be former co-workers or bosses.

Some good references are: a minister, a former teacher, a person from a club you were in or someone you worked with in a volunteer program, a neighbor who has known you for a while, a local politician whom knows you, a business owner you have dealt with, a bank officer at the bank you use or someone whom you served with in the military or a former commanding officer.

Remember, don't use anyone as a reference without obtaining their permission first!

In working with credit card companies, I found that a lot of the time it could be as simple as the previous creditor never reported to any of the credit agencies. Another popular problem is that they don't "like" the type of reference provided. For instance, you have paid your car loan on time each month and it is reported but you don't carry any major credit cards. Often, especially when dealing with department store cards, they want to see someone else taking the risk first. Then there's always the possibility that the previous creditor was unwilling to answer questions regarding your accounts. Usually because they want to protect you. It's a vicious cycle really but there are several explanations. Hope this helps.

Yes, but it's not too smart. Some employers will wait till they have a concern then check to see what they missed. Personally I do not check personal or job references unless the position is highly sensitive or the reference is important in determining certain skills. Personal references are rarely checked. Provide 3 references; business/job related, social (clergy, club, fraternity etc.), and educational (professor, teacher)

You can focus on highlighting any relevant experience, skills, and qualities that make you a strong candidate for the position. You can also consider including references from alternate sources, such as colleagues, mentors, or community leaders who can speak to your character and work ethic. It's important to be honest about your situation and explain to the employer why you may not have traditional references available.
