Document Summary
In lab reports, you must give credit to any ideas or sources of information that are not your own. Scientific writing does not use quotation marks; instead paraphrase the ideas (ie. use your own words), then cite the source using an accepted style, such as the apa name, year system (see examples below), or a numbered superscript. Citations in the body of the report are abbreviations that point to a list of the full details of the sources given in a references section or as a footnote. If the name, year system is used, the references section at the end of the report lists the sources in alphabetical order by author. If a footnote or endnote system is used, the sources are listed in chronological order. Only sources that have been cited in the body of the report are referenced. Other referencing styles (eg. mla, chicago, etc. ) are also acceptable, but must be used consistently throughout a report.
