Writing a thesis can be an arduous task that demands meticulous attention to detail, extensive

research, and critical analysis. From formulating a thesis statement to conducting thorough research,
organizing findings, and presenting coherent arguments, the process can be overwhelming for many
students. Moreover, one of the critical aspects of writing a research paper is including accurate and
properly formatted citations to acknowledge the sources used.

requirements of the chosen citation style.
