After organizing the raw data from your experiment and performing statistical analysis, you are ready to move to the next part of your research project—sharing the results of your experiment. You do this by writing a STEM research paper and/or preparing a poster and presentation. In a paper or a poster, you must properly document, or cite, the resources you used. In other words, you must document within your paper and in a list at the end of the paper the resources (e.g., journals, online material, books) you used to do the research project and paper. By the end of the chapter, you should be able to explain what documentation is and why it is important, list the documentation guidelines that apply to all documentation styles, and describe the connection between in-text citations and the Works Cited list.
