Polishing Your Quarterly Research Paper
CITATION OF SOURCES
It should be self-evident you that you need a mix of scholarly book, academic journal, and primary sources for this paper. We asked you to find 7 during the research process. Weave your sources together. Try not to rely on just one source in each of your body paragraphs. History papers use Turabian footnote citation and bibliography, not MLA parenthetical citation and work cited pages. Use http://www.citationmachine.net/turabian/cite-a-book to assist you in creating the proper citation. Make sure you include the page number to which you are referring.
INTEGRATING QUOTATIONS
Board example # 1
A book published during the Zhou Dynasty, translated to English, expressed the salience of war in Zhou culture: "The military is a great matter of the state. It is the ground of life and death." (FOOTNOTE here indicating this comes from Sunzi's The Art of War.)
Board example #2
Sunzi's The Art of War described the prevalence of war during the reign of the Zhou. Sunzi proclaimed "[t]he military is a great matter of the state. It is the ground of life and death." FOOTNOTE.
Board example # 3
According to Sunzi, "[t]he military is a great matter of the state." FOOTNOTE. The Zhou Dynasty prioritized war above all other government functions. By engaging in battle, the Zhou believed they were strengthening the state by expanding their territorial power. Notice this example analyzes the quote and does not just ask it to "speak for itself."
Example # 4
In closing, you could also not use quotes here and paraphrase instead. In that case, you STILL have to use a footnote.
The Zhou Dynasty prioritized war above all other government functions. By engaging in battle, the Zhou believed they were strengthening the state by expanding their territorial power. To not do battle risked death of the state, the Zhou Dynasty itself. FOOTNOTE.

Here are some examples of what it should look like, along with an entire sample from Rampolla (note it uses endnotes - you should format as footnotes). Need additional help on typical expectations for introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions? Review this small section of Rampolla from freshmen pape.
