Whats Proper Acknowledgement?
Usually notations with footnotes will be fine. Be sure to include any sourcing information you can provide in the footnotes. In cases of important points to your report, you likely will want to cite the source in the body of your text (i.e. “According to research conducted by NWO WorldGroup…”). If you do this, be sure you also give proper footnoted citations. Different teachers in different subject areas may prefer different styles for citing sources in research papers. Three major academic styles include Chicago Style, MLA Style and the American Psychological Association (APA) Style. It’s important you teach your children early how to properly cite printed and verbal material in their own work to avoid trouble down the road.
