Review Vocabulary

2. citation, standardized format from the Modern Language Association for documenting sources in humanities writing; includes key elements (author, title, container, contributors, version, number, publisher, publication date, and location) arranged and punctuated in a specific order to give readers full source information.
5. combine information, ideas, and evidence from multiple credible sources into a coherent whole that shows relationships, patterns, or a new understanding rather than merely listing separate facts.
7. quality that makes a source trustworthy and reliable; judged by author expertise, publication venue, evidence provided, methodology, and whether claims are supported and verifiable.

1. Logically connected and easy to follow; ideas or parts fit together in a clear order so the reader or listener can understand relationships, progression, and the main point.
3. bibliography, list of sources each followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph (annotation) that summarizes the source’s main ideas, assesses its credibility and usefulness for the research topic, and explains how it will be used in the project.
4. A clear, focused question that guides research or investigation; it can be open-ended for exploration or narrow for targeted study and is revised as new evidence or limits emerge.
6. tendency or inclination that prevents objective consideration of an issue; in sources, bias can shape selection of evidence, language, or interpretation and must be identified so it can be accounted for in analysis.
