Table of Contents

A table of contents is a list of the chapters or parts of a book or any other written work in

order (Déjean & Meunier, 2009). Usually, it has the names of chapters and the names of sections,

and sometimes mostly include the page numbers of subsections. The main purpose of a table of

contents is to make it easy for readers to figure out what they want within the paper. The table of

contents makes it easier and faster for them to find the information they need.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is when one uses someone else's work, ideas, or words without giving them

credit. Plagiarism can happen when one copies and pastes from a source without giving credit,

when one paraphrases another person’s work without giving credit or when oneparaphrases an-

other person’s work without giving credit, or uses someone else's ideas as their own (Awasthi,

2019). Plagiarism is a serious crime in both the workplace and the classroom. It can lead to court

action, a loss of reputation, or academic penalties. To avoid copying, all sources used in a written

work must be correctly mentioned, and credit must be made where credit is due.

Citation & Bibliography

Citation means giving credit to the original sources of information employed in a piece of

writing, such as a research paper or essay, and giving a reference toreferencing those sources.

Depending on the style of citation, a reference usually includes the name of the author, the title

of the workcitation style, a reference usually includes the author's name, the work's title, the date

it was published, and any other important information (Vivek & Leblanc, 2018). On the other

hand, a bibliography is a list of all the books, websites, papers, journals, and other sources that

were used in a piece ofused in a writing. It is generally at the end of the paper and listed in order

by the author's last name. A bibliography gives more information about the sources that are re-

ferred to in the work, such as who published them (Vivek & Leblanc, 2018).

Proofing a Document

Proofing or proofreading is examining and editing a written work to fix any grammatical,

punctuation, spelling, and formatting mistakes (Christensen, n.d.). Proofreading ensures that the

written work is precise, logical, and easily understood by the intended audience. This process

might need several passes to check for various types of errors, and it can be performed manually

or with automated tools. Generally, proofreading is an important phase in the writing process that

ensures the professionalism and quality of a piece of writing.

Analyzing a Document

Analyzing a document involves looking into its structure, content, and context to better

comprehend its objective, message, and intended audience (Dr. Cathy, n.d.). Analyzing a docu-

ment may involve establishing key themes, concepts, and arguments and assessing its success in

meeting its objectives. Other aspects to examine in document analysis include the author's point

of view, the historical or cultural context in which the document was created, and the document's

intended impact or use. Document analysis is crucial for understanding the relevance and mean-

ing of a document, and it is often utilized in literary criticism, academic research, and other types

of textual analysis.

Tables

In writing, a table is a visual representation ofvisually represents facts or information

structured in rows and columns (Rao & Card, 1994). It is often used to convey complex data in a

clear and structured way, allowing readers to quickly understand and absorb it more easily. Ta-

bles may incorporate numerical data, words, or both and can be used in various publications, in-

cluding academic papers, reports, and business presentations. Tables often feature column titles

and row labels to assist readers in navigating the information, as well as footnotes or captions to

give extra context or explanation.

Tracking Changes

To "track changes" in a document is to record and show all the alterations made to the

original text, such as new words, deleted words, and new formatting (Birnholtz & Ibara, 2012).

This is a typical tool for teams working together to write or edit a document since it allows ev-

eryone involved to see who made what changes and when they were made. With the tracking

changes feature activated, any edits made to a document are highlighted in a different color,

making it simple for the author to spot and review any modifications. The document's change

history may be audited by tracking who made which changes and when they were made. When

multiple people are revising the same document, having the capacity to see who made what

changes and when is crucial for maintaining accuracy and consistency.

Headers & Footers

Headers and footers are document sections at the top and bottom of each page. They of-

ten convey extra information, like page numbers, document titles, author names, dates, and other

pertinent information. Headers and footers may be personalized with various sizes, fonts, colors,

formatting styles, and photos or graphics. They are often utilized to provide context and organi-

zation to academic papers, corporate reports, and other publications and to guarantee that each

page is correctly identified and recognized. Headers and footers are valuable features for improv-

ing a document's layout and utility, as well as its general readability and professionalism (Writ-

tenhouse, 2022).
