Taking notes
No one can remember all the material they read , or keep
Expert's A's opinion straight from B's opinion . That is why you
need to take notes .For very brief research papers , you can
usually gather information without taking notes , but with
longer , more complex research papers ,you will have to make
note cards to handle the flow of information efficiently .
The summary note describes and rewrites the source material without
great concern for style or expression. Your purpose at the moment will
be quick, concise writing without careful wording. If the information is
needed, you can rewrite it later in a clear, appropriate prose style and, if
necessary, return to the source for revision. Use summary notes for these
reasons:
• To record material that has marginal value
• To preserve statistics that have questionable value for your study
• To note an interesting position of a source speaking on a closely
related subject but not on your specific topic
• To reference several works that address the same issue, as shown
in this example:
The logistics and cost of implementing a recycling program have
been examined in books by West and Loveless and in articles by
Jones
et al., Coffee and Street, and Abernathy.
Success with the summary requires the following:
1. Keep it short. It has marginal value, so don’t waste time fine-tuning it.
2. Mark with quotation marks any key phrasing you cannot paraphrase
2-Parphrasing

Endnotes : Endnotes should be listed together after the end of the text
and any appendixes but before the bibliography. Endnotes are citations
that appear at the end of the chapter, book, or research report .
endnotes are popular with many writers because they make an
easier transition from the text to citation than do footnotes and
arranged sequentially in relation to where the reference appears in
the paper. Like footnotes, endnotes Serve two main purposes in
a research paper:1) acknowledge the source of quotation,
paraphrase, or summary.
2)they provide explanatory comments that would interrupt the
flow of the main text . Choose endnotes when your footnotes
are so long or numerous that they take up too much space on
the page, making your report unattractive and difficult to read
The Chicago writing style was created for reference citations for your
research papers . The Chicago Manual of Style, divides citations into
notes and bibliography entries . Notes are either footnotes or endnotes;
the only difference between the two is their placement in your research
work . Footnotes are found at the bottom of a page (i.e. in the footer)
and endnotes are located at the end of a complete document, or
sometimes at the end of a chapter or section .
3-It allows the reader to immediately link the footnote to the subject
of the text
4-Footnotes are automatically included when printing off specific
pages.
Or Murav, 220
Ibid.
Ibid. is short for the Latin term: Ibidem ''in the same place.'' It can be
used in footnotes or endnotes in place of repeating all the
bibliographic information for a citation. It may only be used if it refers
to the data that appears in the immediately previous note.
Examples:
30. Buchan , Advice to Mothers, 71.
31. Ibid.,95.
32.Ibid.
In notes, ibid. should not be italicized; at the start of a
note, it should be capitalized. Since ibid. is an
abbreviation, it must end with a period; if the citation
includes a page number, put a comma after ibid. If the
page number of a reference is the same as in the previous
note, do not include a page number after ibid. Do not use
ibid. after a note that contains more than one citation, and
avoid using ibid. to refer to footnotes that do not appear on
the same page
