Compact and convenient, The Broadview Pocket Guide to Citation and Documentation includes information on MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of citation and documentation. Based on the "Documentation" chapter in the acclaimed Broadview Guide to Writing, this volume has been expanded with a wide range of additional examples and has been fully updated to cover recent changes (such as the new MLA guidelines for citing tweets). The book discusses summary and paraphrase as well as direct quotation, and includes an extensive treatment of how to integrate quoted material into the text of an academic paper. There is coverage too of what constitutes plagiarism-and on how to avoid it.
