Publisher's Synopsis

This text targets the two most prominent problems in current research-paper writing: the increase in unintentional plagiarism and the ineffective use of research source material. Designed as a supplementary textbook, it will help every student who uses research in writing. APA and MLA citation styles have been updated throughout the text, and there is material on research strategies and source selection (Chapter 2), a chapter on quoting sources effectively (Chapter 4), and a chapter on grammar and mechanics (Chapter 9). New to this edition: A copy of our booklet A Sample of the Writings of Robert A. Harris is included free of charge. With dedicated sections on plagiarism, figurative language, and creative thinking, this compilation of materials is a handy resource for any student.
