Another rule of thumb is that one usually expects at least three citations per page. The paper topic should, in all instances, be discussed with the instructor to make sure that the bibliographic references are both sufficient in terms of number and relevance. All papers should be clearly outlined. The inclusion of an outline at the beginning of the paper is strongly recommended. Also, each paper should include a title page giving the title of the paper, the author, the course for which the paper was submitted, and a date.
Quotations are a major feature of any research enterprise.
All material copied directly from a book, article, or other source should be placed in quotation marks. After the quote, you close the quotation marks and then give the citation. Weber, Max. 1958. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. In the References, all items should be arranged alphabetically by author.
