For APA style, which is more important: proper documentation of every source in the literature review or articulation of every limitation in the discussion section? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Varies.
Proper documentation and citation are fundamental to a good paper. Indeed, appropriate use of others work is an ethical imperative. Paraphrasing should be done carefully and authors must give credit where credit is due. Plagiarism is when individuals present others’ work as their own, which is an ethical and legal violation. Because proper documentation is so critical, APA style values it more than the statement of every limitation of a study. Indeed, researchers should be open and honest about their study’s limitations and present them in the discussion section; however, they may not have thought of all the study’s limitations, and critical readers may perceive new limitations that the authors had not considered. Therefore, APA style values proper documentation more than the statement of every limitation.
