Thank you so much, Mog. I asked my sups the examples and they could not make me understand. After seeing what you said, I think I can now write the 'implications' - the missing part in my chapter. Thank u once again ! :-)

After done with the conclusion chapter, rather than being happy I am losing all my confidence. It's been a week that I got feedback in my chapter but hardly I could think of making it better. As per supervisors my conclusion chapter has conclusion, recommendations but no 'implications'. I am tired of figuring out what exactly are 'implications' ? They also say that it does not state its contribution to broader knowledge. Really fade up by now. Please help me understand 'implications' ! how should I make it clearer? thanks, Swetch

Congratulations Dr Sneaks !!! What a gr8 news.

I have also been checking the thread...looking forward to hear from sneaks...

Thank you MissPiggy !! Just checked and it did work. I have never tried printing in such a way and have no idea about it, sorry. I have one more issue, please anyone help with it. While referencing, I directly quote an author (Simon) saying "There was a heavy snow yesterday". While I quote, I write like this: According to Simon, "[t]here was a heavy snow yesterday". I put the capital 'T' in small case 't' in a bracket. Is this the correct way??

Thank you, Moonblue. Wow...It just worked with the comma at the back. THANK YOU !

While I select reference type as 'Webpage', if there is no specific author, what should I do? Until now, I have used name of corporate author i.e. BBC in author box. But, the problem is if it is just the one word, the display comes correctly i.e. BBC (2004). Instead, if I have to use the full name, British Broadcasting Corporation, EndNote treats it as the persons name and displays in a strange way i.e. Corporation, B. B. (2004) !!!! I have been correcting manually for this. If I put 'British Broadcasting Corporation' as a publisher, it does not display at all.
Any suggestions please...

Thank you so much, catalinbond. I am paraphrasing some of the direct quotes from web site...seems the problem will get solved with this. Indeed, as everyone suggested, I would stick to whatever I have at the moment - the department confirmed that if I maintain consistency, no problem whatever style I select. All of yr suggestions are eye opening to me.

Thank you !! Swetch

Thanks, catalinbond. The problem with APA 5th is if I select web page and there is no name of the author, I put name of the organisation such as Aussie Press Freedom in Author's box and it comes very strangely. If I put in in Publisher box, it does not display. So, I just did manually i.e. According to Aussie Press Freedom (2012), "press freedom is important to all of us". Do you use direct quote from web site like this?? Thanks, Swetch

Thank you so much, Ady. It is very useful. I wish my Uni also uses something like this. Since I have already entered references in EndNote, selecting Harvard would do if I want to use it. I selected APA 5th as I liked the output style & also found its output similar to other PhD thesis references in my Dept. My EndNote output style only shows Harvard (Category Science). Is there any other output Harvard (Social Science) so that it would be easier for me to just switch to Harvard style? Thanks once again. Swetch

Hi Ady,

Thank you so much for more clarification. My university guideline says "It is also useful to decide at an early stage on one of the conventions for
giving references (your supervisor will help with this, if you are not familiar with them), so that everything you write follows the convention you have settled on. " but does not say any particular one to select. I did discuss with sups in early stages as well as recently, they do not have problem with the one I chose. I wish they had the specific one ! Swetch

Hi friends, I have referenced direct quotes from website in some places in my thesis. Since it is online, I do not have page number ! How do I reference it?

"....................................." (Wendi [Online version], 2003) --> This is how have done until now. Sups never commented on it but now bit worried if it is wrong. In some occasions, there is no year as well. Since there is no information available on hard copy (from my country), there is no way I can escape from some of these materials online. Please suggest !

Hi Nearlyfinished,

Good luck with yr submission. I am currently doing corrections in my conclusion chapter. I still have few corrections in one chapter. The rest are almost done but still need to take a thorough read of all the chapters from the beginning to end. Hopefully, I will hand in the first draft by the end of Feb. I think I too need to have a firmer plan at this stage. Swetch
