K
eep organized notes from the very beginning.


C
ite every piece of information in your paper.


R
emember the point of citations: leading your reader to exactly where you got the information.


P
ractice, practice, practice...  Every student initially hates citations and contemplates dropping out rather than writing a cited research essay.  It will get easier, though.  After a few papers, you'll really start to get it, and won't need to look up every single thing.
