Documentation or Bibliography

    Documentation is an act of giving credit to the author with whom researchers borrow the ideas. If one does not prepare documentation while borrowing ideas from other he or she is said to be a plagiarist.

    Nearly all research builds a previous research. Researchers commonly begin a project by studying past work in the area and deriving relevant information and ideas from their predecessors. While doing so one must document the source by indicating what is borrowed-whether facts, opinions or quotations- and from where they are borrowed.

    There are various methods of documentation. MLA and APA styles are most popular.

MLA documentation style is:
Fry, James. Sound and Poetry New York: Oxford University Press. 1975

APA documentation style is:
Fry, J. (1975). Sound and Poetry. NewYork.Oxford University Press.
