5 Parenthetical Documentation The list of works in the typed bibliography that accompanies your research paper acknowledges the sources you used in your research. owever, you must also indicate to your readers exactly what information you took from each source and exactly where in that work you found the material you used. Typically you must acknowledge or document any direct quotations, other people s ideas (even if you reword them), facts or theories that are not generally known, and experiments conducted by others. Early in your research you will discover many facts which you did not know. Not all of these previously unknown facts necessarily need acknowledgment in your final paper. If there is no serious debate about a fact, During World War II, D-Day was on June 6, 1944 then there is no need to document such an indisputable fact. One practical way to credit someone else s work is to include a parenthetical reference anytime you use another s words, unique facts, ideas, or experiments. The following excerpt from Danielle Bisconti s biology research paper is an excellent example of parenthetical documentation....the reappearance of shipworms is due, in part, to rising global temperatures. The warmer temperatures allow shipworms to reproduce more and for more of the larvae to live (White and outman, 2). Ballast water has helped the shipworms spread throughout ecosystems. The transportation of shipworms through ballast water exposes ecosystems to foreign species (Cobb, 1) and disrupts the food chain; it also creates a variation in the gene pool of the new ecosystem (Lockwood, 1). The parenthetical reference (Cobb, 1) indicates the quotation comes from page 1 of a work by Cobb. Given the author s last name, your reader can easily find this source in the typed bibliography at the end of your paper. Please Note: 1. If there is more than one Cobb in your bibliography, use the first initial of the first name to differentiate. 2. If your publication has two authors or editors, use both last names joined by and. See the White and outman example above. 3. If your article has no author, then use a shortened version of the title that distinguishes it from the other titles in your bibliography. page 6
