Initial database searches provided 181,642 citations. Then 80,635 duplicated citations were removed; then identified titles and abstracts of 62 unique citations. However, not all of the 62 citations are intricately related to the preference topic, some of the 62 citations depend on broad relevance to the topic area. Therefore, the 62 abstracts went through a second round of scrutiny against the inclusion criteria, and based on full-text review 30 articles were selected. Following further investigation, 13 study protocols were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria, while 3 articles were added as a result of matching inclusion criteria. The final set of 20 studies included. Women who are suffering from domestic violence…

My research paper will be about preventing plagiarism and showing that I can properly cite, use in text citations, and use direct quotes, and use a reference page. Plagiarism is a serious offense that has very negative consequences for the student and everyone else involved. The first type of feelings I experienced was feeling like a criminal and being scared. I was not trying to plagiarize, but but by not citing…

Make sure to ask your instructor what he/she prefers since some instructors prefer that you single-space each citation but double-space between citations (McGonagal, MLA Style 55).

Each citation begins at the left margin with subsequent lines indented five spaces. This is called a “hanging indent.” All citations should be arranged alphabetically by their first…

institutional affiliation centered in the middle of the page, with the running header in the top left and the page number 1 in the top right (Paiz General).

The advantages of utilizing the APA format is, APA citing becomes a habit. Not only have I learned to cite when doing my school assignments, I also make sure I cite if I am doing some research for my boss. The disadvantages of using APA formatting can range from how complex it is to how complicated it can be. APA sets a standard for every writer, which can make using the APA format complex. APA format can also be very confusing. There are separate citations, and each citation, such as book,…
