In order to write scientifically and
academically valid as well as reliable papers, researchers need to integrate sources
that meet up with the TRAAP requirements (time, relevance, authority, accuracy
and purpose). To ensure an effective source integration which displays quality and
expertise, the following process and best practices can be adopted: ·
Selection of authoritative
sources from academically approved websites or authors with good scholar
background ·
Use of an academic citation style
proper to the field of study or the school ·
Integration of the source in the
writing and make sure it blends well with it ·
Analyze it in relation to the
argument stated in the research ·
Proper citation of the original
author to avoid plagiarism Reference Ingram, O. (2023) How to Integrate Sources in Academic
