Summary

Here's a wrap-up of what we've learned in this section:

  • Documentation is the formal process of showing where you have used the words or ideas of others in your paper.
  • Documentation shows that you have done your research, provides a list of useful sources on a topic for others, and prevents charges of plagiarism.
  • Plagiarism is using words or ideas of others without giving them credit. It is a serious offense in the academic world.
  • Comp I uses the MLA style of documentation. MLA style uses "in-text citations" and a "works cited list" to document sources used in a paper.
