Total In-Text Citations vs Paper Length (pages)
Formula
## How to Estimate Citations Needed The number of citations depends on paper length and academic level. ### Formula **Total Citations = Pages x Citations per Page** **Unique Sources = Total Citations x Unique Ratio** ### Guidelines by Level - Undergraduate: 2-3 citations per page, 8-15 total sources - Master's: 3-5 per page, 20-40 sources - Doctoral: 5+ per page, 50+ sources
Exemplo Resolvido
10-page paper with 3 citations per page and 60% unique ratio.
- 01Total citations = 10 x 3 = 30
- 02Unique sources = round(30 x 0.6) = 18
- 03Average uses per source = 30 / 18 = 1.7
