Documentation Styles


0

To avoid plagiarism in research projects, a researcher is required to acknowledge the sources of words, facts, or ideas borrowed from other scholars. Most academic disciplines or professional bodies require special documentation formats or styles in research project reports. Consequently, the style used should be consistent with the requirements of each discipline.

Most professional publications have abandoned the use of footnotes or endnotes as a method of referencing within text and have adopted instead the author/year method of documentation. The author year method provides the reader with names and dates in the text that can be used to identify complete bibliographic listings in the reference list.

One main advantage of the author/year method is that it offers key documentary information where appropriate within the text in order to ensure continuity in reading and economic use of the page particularly where lengthy documentary information is required.
