1. Use quotation marks: When quoting others' words directly, enclose them in quotation marks, and indicate the source after the quotation marks. In this way, it can be clearly seen that this part of the content is someone else's, not your own original.
2. Indicate the source: whether it is a direct citation or an indirect citation, the source should be indicated in the paper. This can be the name of the author, the name of the published book or periodical, the page number, etc. If possible, you can also provide a link to the original source.
3. Use footnotes and endnotes: If your paper contains a lot of references, you can consider using footnotes and endnotes. This can avoid frequent citations in the text and make it easier for readers to find your citation source.
4. Avoid over-quoting: Although over-quoting is necessary, it may cause your paper to be re-examined and marked in red. You should try your best to explain and discuss what you quoted in your own words, instead of just copying and pasting.
5. Use reference management tools: There are many reference management tools that can help you manage and format your references, such as EndNote and Zotero. These tools can automatically generate the correct citation format and help you track your citation sources.
6. Know and abide by the citation rules of your discipline: different disciplines may have different citation rules, and you should know and abide by these rules. For example, some disciplines may require you to use a specific citation format or have specific citation rules.
Generally speaking, the key to correct citation is to respect the intellectual property rights of others and ensure that your paper is original. Only in this way can your paper pass the duplicate check and get high marks.
