Lab Homework #3: Citation Guidelines

The document provides instructions for citing sources in lab assignments using the author's lab manual. It states that in-text citations should use the last name of the author and year of publication. For works with 3 or more authors, use only the first author's last name followed by "et al.". References should be provided in a literature citation section and include the full names of all authors as initials followed by the publication year, title, journal name, and page numbers. Hanging indentations should be used. An example in-text citation and reference list entry are provided using an article submitted for a previous homework.

Lab Homework #3
The citation format for our lab manual and subsequently the format I will be using is
rather simple and straight forward. For in text citations you simply use the last name of the
author followed by the year of publication. In cases where there are two authors we are to cite
both authors last names, however at three or more authors you only use the first authors name
followed by et. al meaning and others. An example for in text citation based off of the article
I submitted for section one of this homework would be (Ni et. al (2016). We then include a
literature citation section to provide a full citation for our article. This citation is to include the
names of all authors regardless of the number per article. In this format we substitute the first and
middle names with the first and middle initials, only using the full last name. The name is then
followed by the publication year, title of the article, the name of the journal, and the page
number(s) that the article can be found within the journal. These citations are to use hanging
indentations. An example of what one of these citations would look like based off of my article
would be.

Section 3: Paraphrasing
Phospholipid bilayers appear when lipid molecules align as paired sheets with the hydrophobic
tails interacting with each other and the hydrophilic heads interacting with the water around
them. Lipid bilayers are selectively permeable structures the help regulate the flow of solutes
from either side. This selective permeability allows only specific molecules and relative amounts
of said molecules to pass across the bilayer into or out of the cells. The permeability of these
bilayers varies due to many different factors, which can cause changes in the effectiveness of
many systems. These variables include but are not limited to, temperature changes, cholesterol
levels, and the saturation of the hydrocarbon tails within the structure. Often times scientists will
create artificial bilayers to deepen our knowledge of the selective nature of these structures.
