Hello Erin I have to write my report pls suggest what styles should I select? Secondly we connect in person virtually over a Google meet?

[@erinwrightwriting]

@@pranjalmishra1993 Generally, your university or organization will tell you which style to use. If not, APA is a good choice for science-related writing and Chicago is a good choice for humanities-related writing. I don't provide individual consultations, but I wish you all the best with your report!

@@erinwrightwriting Hi Erin, Many thanks for your prompt response. Primerily a step by step guide similar to citation would be great.

(2) I need to do everything which is allowed in MS Word. i.e. text highlighting and technical diagrams embedding etc. (3)I am uncertain that I have to pay for these PDF features to be enabled. Any help from you would be most welcome. Thank you

Hey Erin, your videos are incredibly helpful. I've learned a lot from them. You've been my guru for some time now. Could you guide me on "How to insert additional citations into an existing list of citations?"

[@erinwrightwriting]

I am happy to hear that! Just to make sure I have your question correct, are you trying to add sources into existing citations that are already in the body of the text?

[@krishna_blossommiinds]

@@erinwrightwriting I'm pleased to connect with you. Yes, the list of citations already exists, numbered from 1 to 10. If I want to add a few more, say 3 or 4, then the list should continue from number 11 onwards. How do I do that?

Thanks for your tutorials, they have been very helpful for writing my research paper. I'm finding it difficult to cite datasheets as they vary in provided information and can't figure out which source type is to be used. For a technical research paper many kinds of datasheets will be referred to. Can you please help me with a way to get it done. Thanks again.

Thank you for watching! Since there's no "datasheet" option, I would suggest using the "report" option, instead. However, I encourage you to ask your professor or advisor for their advice. Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for the very informative video. I would like to ask you how I can change the sequence of my references in the reference list. Because I think that the order that it gives you when you click on "Bibliography" in the end is wrong (because it is in alphabetic order by default I guess...?).

Thank you for watching! The order of the bibliography is determined by your citation style (e.g., Chicago, MLA, APA). Nearly all of them alphabetize by the author's last name.
