What advantage does an encyclopedia have over a periodical as a source for research?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

An encyclopedia is a better source for details on a topic.

The correct answer is B, because it states that the motorcycle police protects yellow school buses, and it does not clearly state that they are protecting the students inside so it sounds like the buses are in danger of the angry bystanders.

Read the following excerpt. What is wrong with the in-text citations? Conflicts of interest can also arise when there is collabo
olga2289 [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the following excerpt. What is wrong with the in-text citations?

Conflicts of interest can also arise when there is collaboration. Joint authorship, the relative placement of authors’ names, co-authored or multi-authored articles, and other issues relating to group authorship can involve "unwarranted and unwanted authorial attribution for personal gain" (Hauptmann, 2008, p. 137). Researcher and author collaboration can also result in misunderstandings about first authorship, responsibility for mistakes or errors once a manuscript is published, and other ethical dilemmas.

a. nothing, the in-text citation is correct.  b. The page number should not be included.  c. The author’s first initial should be included.  d. The title of the book or article should be included.

Answer:

a. nothing, the in-text citation is correct.

Explanation:

A quote occurs when you are writing a text and use information that was spoken by another author, that is you. In order not to be considered plagiarism, you need to reference the author and the page where you found the quote you cited. The correct way to do this is to put, after the sentence that makes up the quote, in parentheses, the surname of the author (or authors), followed by the year of publication of the work where the quote was removed, followed by the number of the page where the quote is can be found in the original work. An example of this is (Hauptmann, 2008, p. 137).

Therefore, we can say that the quote is correct.
