OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean citations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Primary Source: A primary source is an original study, document, object, or eyewitness account. In other words, this is the source where any given information first appeared. For instance, if a scientific study is performed, the primary source is the initial report that is prepared by the scientist(s) who performed the research. Secondary Source: A secondary source is a document that is written about the primary source. These are often documents that report, analyze, discuss, or interpret primary sources. If I am writing a literature analysis paper, quoting the book or author I am analyzing is a primary source. Quoting or paraphrasing opinions about the book or its significance from literature professors and/or critics is a secondary source.

in other words Primary sources ( Newspapers, autobiography, journals, letters, photographs) Secondary Sources (Biography, Books and articles) :)

You basically use these books in your research paper cite your evidence the way your teacher wants it to be cited and you're done :)
