It is possible to include a graph from another source in a research paper.If you give credit to the original source, this is acceptable.Under the graph, you generally give a citation.The citation style used in your discipline affects the form this citation takes.English scholars and many humanities disciplines use the Modern Language Association style, while the standards of the American Psychological Association are used by many authors.The Chicago/Turabian style and the standards of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers are used by humanities specialists and social scientists.It's a good idea to consult your instructor before writing a paper.
