General Format

Formatting Guidelines Please check with your instructor about their requirements for the format of your paper (i. e. , font, line spacing, headers, etc. ). There are three different systems used in CSE. Ask your professor which system they prefer. For quick reference, here is where each system in explained.

• Include the paper title, your name, and any other important information, centered on the page Cover Page • Do not include a header or page number on the cover page • Double spaced

• Header will include the title of the article or handout and the page number, starting with 2 Body Pages • Double spaced with one inch margins on all sides • Center section headers like Abstract, Discussions, etc. • End references will be started on a new page at the end of the paper.

General Rules for References List and In-text Citations

• All lines are flush with the left margin, no hanging indentations are used. • Authors’ last names are listed first, then the first and middle initial (if given). No commas are used in between the last name and first initial. In addition, no periods are used in between initials. Example: Brown AC. General Rules for References List and Intext Citations • Use all authors’ names if a work has up to ten authors listed. For a work with more than ten authors, list the first ten names followed by a comma and “et al. ” Example: Brown MW, Keats EJ, Willems M, Lowry L, Sachar L, Rylant C, Collins S, London J, Tolkien JR, Bang M, et al. • Titles of books and articles are not italicized, “placed within quotation marks”, or underlined. Only the first word of the title is capitalized, after that only proper names in the title are the only words that should be capitalized. • Journal titles that consist of more than one word are abbreviated. All the words in the abbreviated title are capitalized.

In-text citation …although this is not an easy thing to do (2008 letter from S Neifer to me), it is well worth the effort.

Citation-Sequence System Superscripted numbers are inserted at the point of reference as in the citation-sequence system. However, the citations are numbered according to the alphabetical listing by author’s last name of cited works in the end reference page.

General Guidelines and Organization guides. highpoint. edu/cse In the citation-sequence system, numbers are used in the text to refer to the end references. The numbers are ordered in the sequence in which they appear. So for example if Qubein is your first reference cited then it will appear Qubein 1 and the full reference will appear after the number 1 in the bibliography. It is possible to cite more than one reference within one sentence by using a superscript sequence of numbers 2, 3. If a reference is repeated in the text use the same number for the reference.

Citation-Name System

General Information In the citation-name system, numbers are used in the text to refer to the end references. Superscripted numbers are inserted at the point of reference as in the citation-sequence system. However, the citations are numbered according to the alphabetical listing by author’s last name of cited works in the end reference page(and not by order of appearance). Citations are created like the examples for citationsequence system.

Utilizing Sources

• Why Source Integration? Quotations, paraphrases, and summaries • provide support for claims or add credibility to your writing • refer to work that leads up to the work you are now doing • give examples of several points of view on a subject • call attention to a position that you wish to agree or disagree with • highlight a particularly striking phrase, sentence, or passage by quoting the original • distance yourself from the original by quoting it in order to cue readers that the words are not your own • expand the breadth or depth of your writing

Choosing Text to Integrate 1. Read the entire text, noting the key points and main ideas. 2. Summarize in your own words what the single main idea of the essay is. 3. Paraphrase important supporting points that come up in the essay. 4. Consider any words, phrases, or brief passages that you believe should be quoted directly.

• Summarizing When you summarize, you put the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). • Summarized ideas must be attributed to the original source. • Summaries are significantly shorter than the original. • Summaries take a broad overview of source material.

• Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. • Attribute paraphrases to their original sources. • Paraphrases are usually shorter than, but may be the same length as, the original passage. • Paraphrases take a more focused segment of the source and condense it slightly.

• Quoting Quotations must be identical to the original. • Quotations use a narrow segment of the source. • They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. • Use quotes when the actual words are so integral to the discussion that they cannot be replaced. • Use quotes when the author’s words are so precisely and accurately stated that they cannot be paraphrased.
