 MLA Check list

 

The bibliography or list of sources  is referred to as Works Cited under MLA rules.

  1. Direct quotations

    Quote directly from your source if the original words are unique and distinctive or if they add authority to your point.

  2. Ideas that are summarized or paraphrased

    Paraphrasing or summarizing a source is often preferable to quoting, for it allows you as the author to use your own style and voice in your research paper. Always remember to use parenthetical citations for such sources. just as you would if you were quoting them.

  3. Ideas and opinions associated with a particular person 

    If you refer to specific concepts adhered to by one person, you must include a reference to this person.

  4. Data that, in context of your paper, may be open to dispute

    If you cite statistics you need to include a reference to your source.

  5. Results of surveys you have conducted as part of your research

    If interviews are personal, you may mark them "personal communication" in your bibliography.

  6. Avoiding plagiarism

    Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic ethics and is grounds for severe penalty. To avoid plagiarism you must cite work that is not your own. For example, a student taking class notes, might omit to add quotation marks to a direct quote. Weeks later when they are working on their paper they may forget which words and phrases are their own and which come directly from the original source. Check with your professors which as to whether or not to cite them as sources for ideas. The individual professor might consider his ideas as part of the public domain of the class, in which case you could cite them without attribution.

     

  7. I would like to point out the following form the Student Handbook 1.02 Plagiarism. "The deliberate use and appropriation of another's work without any indication of the source and the representation of such work as the student's own. Any student who fails to give credit to ideas, expressions or materials taken from another source, including internet sources, is guilty of plagiarism. Any student helping another to plagiarize may be found guilty of academic misconduct."

  8. Works cited: Books The order is Author, Title, Publication Information:

  9. Arrange the entries alphabetically by the author's last name or, when there is no author name, by the first significant word in the title.

    One author

    McDonald, David Francis. Cyber crime on the net. New York: Harper 2002

    Two authors

    Cranley, Janet F., Shamika M. Brown. Freedom on the Internet. Miami, Uinversity of Miami Press, 2001

     

  10. Works cited: Article in a magazine or newspaper

    Mrad, Grace. "Cyber crime - Miami second in the nation" El Nuevo Herald 28 January 2002  

  11. When citing internet sources, be sure to give credit;  

The University of Florida's IT department has developed a Website that provides information about Cyber crime ( "Cyber crime is constantly increasing")

 Good luck

RFC 7   RFC 2404 This memo describes the use of the HMAC algorithm [RFC-2104] in conjunction with the SHA-1 algorithm [FIPS-180-1] as an authentication mechanism within the revised IPSEC Encapsulating Security Payload [ESP] and the revised IPSEC Authentication Header [AH]. HMAC with SHA-1 provides data origin authentication and integrity protection.
RFC 8   RFC 2408 This memo describes a protocol utilizing security concepts necessary for establishing Security Associations (SA) and cryptographic keys in an Internet environment. A Security Association protocol that negotiates, establishes, modifies and deletes Security Associations and their attributes is required for an evolving Internet, where there will be numerous security mechanisms and several options for each security mechanism. The key management protocol must be robust in order to handle public key generation for the Internet community at large and private key requirements for those private networks with that requirement. The Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) defines the procedures for
authenticating a communicating peer, creation and management of Security Associations, key generation techniques, and threat mitigation (e.g. denial of service and replay attacks). All of these are necessary to establish and maintain secure communications (via IP Security Service or any other security protocol) in an Internet environment.
RFC 9 RFC 2409 This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
