Hello Researchers,
While doing research, often we take information from websites. The reference of the website is needed to be included. What is the procedure for that?
Again sometimes, there is a information which is available in a newspaper which is not available online. If i take any necessary info from there, is there any way to include it in reference? Or is it okay not to add reference of any offline source of info?
Please let me know if you have knowledge regarding any of it. It might help new researchers like me.
Have a great day..
Md. Arif Istiek Neloy

The reference page is a crucial element of your research paper; it helps you prevent plagiarism, and it proves you did your research. By providing publication information about the sources that helped you write your paper, the reference page both grants proper credit to other researchers and demonstrates your own scholarly diligence, thereby inducting you into the world of academia. Of course, writing a thorough, properly formatted reference page also helps you earn a good grade.
Yes, you most certainly can, but it depends on the reference style. We use a form of Harvard, please find a reference guide booklet (attached), as well as a more comprehensive one!
