The fifteenth chapter of The Bedford Researcher, titled Using Sources Effectively, is split into three sections. The first section begins talking about how to use sources to complete your purpose as a writer. This section begins by talking about how to introduce an idea into your work, and then lists different ways to analyze those ideas, such as contrasting the idea or providing evidence to prove the ideas merit. After that, this section goes into how to amplify your points and defining different concepts in such a way that is easily understood.
The second section of chapter fifteen talks about how to integrate sources into your draft. This section begins with telling you to clearly define when information in your draft is not your own by providing in-text citations and letting the reader know that what is to come is not your work. This section then goes into how to quote strategically, telling you what different quotes are and how to use them correctly. This section finishes with how to put in non-text quotes (such as pictures) and numerical information.
The final section of this chapter talks about how to document different sources. IT covers the four main documentation system and what they are used for. This section also reminds you to make sure to double check your work to make sure that all the work in your draft is yours, or is labeled when it is not.
