Citing Related Literature Using Standard Style
Research makes use of previous information and data from statements of experts
which are expressed in various sources most common of which are books, journals
and computer databases. These data are utilized both for qualitative and quantitative
researches. For qualitative research, previous studies do not only serve as a basis
for the current study but more significantly, information culled from the said sources
can support in the process of interpretation and analysis of data. It is necessary that
proper citations are followed. Without library resources, researchers will find great
difficulty in doing a study.
These are the different sources of information that you can use for your literature review. An alphabetical list of the references you cite in the
text of your report should be provided. This section explains how to appropriate format for the different types of sources in your reference section.
( Dempster and Hanna, 2016)
REFERENCING STYLES
The reference in your text and your reference section must match perfectly, as well as the
citations. Check On the style used to ensure that each reference is formatted correctly.

Here are the styles for indicating your sources both in the body of the report or in the
reference section at the of your research paper.
• APA (American Psychological Association) is an author /date based style.
This means emphasis is placed on the author and the date a piece of work to uniquely identify it.
• MLA (Modern Language Association) is most often applied in the arts and
humanities, particularly in the USA.
• HARVARD is very similar to APA. It is the most well used referencing style in the UK and
Australia, and it is encouraged for use with the humanities.
• CHICAGO AND TURABIAN are two separate styles but very similar. They are
widely used for economics and history. Though there are choices from different referencing
styles, you should use the particular style your school recommends. Avoid mixing or combining
referencing styles

Ways of Citing Related Literature
1. By author or writer
EXAMPLE: According to Felipe (2015)………………………..
2. By Topic
EXAMPLE: It has been found out that………………………..(Felipe 2015)
3. By Chronology- according to the year, the literatures were written,
usually from earliest to the latest.
Only the major findings, ideas, generalizations, principles or
conclusions in related materials relevant to the problem should be
cited. A material may be quoted if the idea conveyed is so
perfectly stated and is not too long.

Example: According to Felipe, “pregnancy is a condition where


woman should take extra care of themselves, there is also a need to
consult with a doctor to check if everything, if both the
mother and the baby are doing fine” ( Felipe, 2015)
