Assalamualaikum~ How are you today ? I would like to story about bibliography or reference. Firstly, what is citation, bibliography and reference ? Bibliography or we can call reference is a list of books & other materials which have some relationship to each other. The material list have following component such as
Author
Title
Place of publication
Publisher
Year of publication .
From my understanding, all of this must have to make a book as a reference. All the things that relate with a book have to write down. For example
In this topic, I also learnt about about plagiarism. Plagiarism is a person who copy or using others' idea and words without clearly acknowledging the source of the information. If we want to take image, sound, words that are not our's, we have to give a credit for the owner.
We change to another topic, that is a citation and documenting information source. I have learnt what is important of APA report. APA is stand for American Psychological
Association. There a several of function for APA style. Such as : TERM PAPERS, RESEARCH REPORTS, EMPIRICAL STUDIES and many more. There are 3 rules for APA style which are TITLE , AUTHOR , DOCUMENTATION. For Documenting Author, have several ways to write depends on amount of author of that book. Let say in 1 book have 2 author, we can write like this : Stewart, T., & Biffle, G. (1999). But if the author more than 6, we just add { et. al } after the sixth author's name.
RULES FOR TITLE are :
1. we have to capitalize only the first letter in each words, title or subtitle.
2. Underline or
italic the Title of books, Title of Journal, Title of
Magazines, Title of newspaper.
There are many type rules for documentation such as :
- Arrange in alphabetical order
- Do not put the number/bullet in bibliography/reference
- single space
- use hanging indent (1/2 inch)
There are some example for bibliography for journal and conference proceeding.
