1. Correct way to cite
A) In-text citation
==> Usage of author's last name instead of author's full name
Correct:
Obviously, as a prerequisite of modeling of the dynamic adsorption, the choice of the isotherm style will directly affect the effect of mathematic modeling(Xu, 2013).
Incorrect:
Obviously, as a prerequisite of modeling of the dynamic adsorption, the choice of the isotherm style will directly affect the effect of mathematic modeling(Zhe Xu, 2013).
B) Bibliography
==> The title of the journal should be italicized
Correct:
Ngarmkam, W., Sirisathitkul, C., & Phalakornkule, C. (2011). Magnetic composite prepared from palm shell-based carbon and application for recovery of residual oil from POME. Journal of Environmental Management, 92(3), 472–479. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2010.08.031

2. Common mistakes in finding resources
- Limitation of search engine by only find information in Google
- Search for full information about the research
Several common mistakes of paraphrasing:
- Paraphrase the sentence without understand the meaning of the sentence
- Completely change the meaning of the context
- Find synonym of only a few words but keep the same structure of sentence
- Understand what the passage that the author want to deliver, then rewrite the idea in our own words
- Compared the paraphrased sentence with the original author’s sentence to check similarity in meaning
To find useful resources,
- Search for information through scientific database such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and SpringerLink
- Use the important keywords that related to the title of the research
- Using boolean such as AND, OR to search for information
