Documenting Evidence..

hye everyone!
Today i would like to share about my next learning topic in ELC next week which is documenting evidence .
Document generally means that materials that provide official materials or evidence that sources as a record. Specifically, according to Writing With Sources books define that documentation refers to the system you use to give credit to your sources, acknowledging that you are using the words, ideas, views or findings of another person. 
Reasons for documenting sources :
  • to strength your work
  • show respect for intellectual property
  • to avoid plagiarism by giving them appropriate credit
  • enables the readers to locate the sources of information and pursue futer reading or investigation on the topic by citation.
