Chapter 5 in WGR
This chapter was very helpful in providing ways to cite papers. Citing has always been something that I have had trouble with even though it is a very important element of writing a paper. It's good to know the exact way to cite something and the WGR will be very useful to me when I am citing my research paper. It is always good to be sure that you have not plagiarized. Also, chapter 5 goes over what makes a source reliable. I think that this is extremely important because not only do you want to be sure that you are giving credit to those that have done the research, but you want to be sure that you are using valid information when informing others on a subject through a research paper. You are not the only one who could be cheating others, but you could be cheated as well by receiving invalid information from an unreliable source. All of the databases on Ball State's virtual library are reliable.
