One more thing: make sure you have your cited works saved somewhere (on your PC or somewhere in the cloud). It is needed to secure your paper if something happens to your PC or the reference app you are using. The best way, I think, is to use both: the cloud and hard drive.
Good point. You can never have too many backups :)
Thank you. I am wondering if it’s possible to discuss a topic about critical analysis in thesis as I am often critiqued the writing is too descriptive.

I am Ahmed from Algeria, I am 51 years old. I would like to complete a Ph.D. in budgetary management. What universities can I accept and be less expensive and that provide training in my specialization? What is the way to convince the supervisor and how do I find a PhD project that is acceptable to my supervisor? Thank you....
Sometimes I see that one argument will have like 5 or more citations. When is 1 not enough? For example "low birth weight in premature infants has shown to impact neurosensory development"
It's generally a good idea to cite more than just one source (especially for core arguments or points), but this needs to be balanced with the word count limits. You don't want to waste word count.
Informative. But I am not getting the template so booo
