How to prepare your academic paper
|
|
Once you have finished your paper, you should document the bibliographic sources used. Remember that not doing this and disseminating somebody else's ideas, words or work as if they were one's own, may be considered as plagiarism, whether or not it is done intentionally.
Your lecturer or tutor will be able to tell you what style of citation you should use for preparing and presenting your bibliographic references and quotations. These references may be presented in various ways depending on your chosen style, but it is important that you always write them down in the same order and in the same manner to ensure clear, coherent results.

The UPF Library offers you the bibliography management tool RefWorks, which enables you to create your own personal database of bibliographic references on line, import references automatically from different information sources, extract lists and generate bibliographies in different styles of citation, and incorporate the references and lists of bibliography into your text documents.
