Document Summary

Academic writers should never cite sources they have not read or viewed directly; it is also rare for an academic writer to enter into dialogue with only one other writer. Because your essay makes uses of summaries of other people"s work, you must therefore orchestrate a scholarly conversation - in other words, bring different voices together. In their introductions to academic papers, writers cite other writers to construct the state of knowledge (also known as a literature review): that is, they provide a snapshot of research on a given subject. However, such citations are not confined to introductions an can occur throughout academic papers. The simplest form of citation often takes the following form: a wrote something and b responds to it (for example, diana baumrind"s critique of stanely milgram"s experiment). For obvious reasons, these are the easiest voices to report: they share the same objects, questions and concepts.
