How to Put a Video Into a Research Paper

As you are writing a research paper, you might be focused on the main body of text. However, including all references, and in the correct format, can also make a difference to your grade. When you are writing your paper, your university might require you to use one of five different citation styles, depending on your subject area. If you have used a video as part of the research, you will need to include this in your footnotes, otherwise you could be plagiarizing the video maker's work.
