In most high school subjects, you do a lot of research work. At times, you will be asked to write research
paper as writing assignments. Note that in any kind of research paper, use must use proper documentation to
identify the material drawn from your readings.

Documentation is a basic requirement of research writing to ensure that you give proper credit to sources
of information and would not pass off someone else’s work as your own, intentionally, or unintentionally. Failure
to use proper documentation is considered plagiarism, a serious breach of academic honesty.

COMMON DOCUMENTATION STYLES

- MLA (Modern Language Association) – It is the standard format for papers, articles, and books in the
arts and humanities. Footnotes and endnotes for additional information are used in this format.
- APA (American Psychological Association) – It is the style used by teachers in business and the social
sciences. Endnotes are use in this format.

MLA STYLE Guidelines

followed by a page number, if there is one.

 Asian men from rich countries are increasingly seeking brides from poorer Asian countries like Vietnam

 Women from poorer countries, on the other hand, are willing to wed even working-classmen in richer
nations, because they “offer hope of a better life.” (Hai. 47)

2. If you are using more than one source by the same author, you will need to include both the author’s name and
short title.

 As [the dragon] ran towards the cost, its falling tail gouged out valleys and crevasses;
 as it plunged into the sea, the areas dug up by the tail became filled with water, leaving only bits of high
land visible. (Hai and Jung, The Lonely planet. 47)
