Neuroscience Qual

For your Neuroscience Qual, the focus on citations is that they are all consistently one style.

Academic writing requires that you acknowledge use of the intellectual work of others.  These are some of the most common situations that require that you identify and give credit to the work of others:

• A direct quote from a text.
• A direct quote from someone else’s writing about that text.
• A paraphrase of the ideas of another writer.

It is not necessary to give credit for commonly known facts or expressions. 

Sources to cite also include:

• texts
• charts
• photos
• graphs
• diagrams
• data sets

NOTE: Zotero can help you organize your sources into a library that you can then insert citations as your write. For help contact your librarian.
