Plagiarism - bachelor thesis I recently turned in my bachelor thesis and just now realised that there is a missing citation in the text. it's kind of a grey area since i'm mentioning earlier formulas that are cited and based on that say that it will conclude in a specific mathematical expression. I'm unsure if this would be considered common knowledge. since it is a general mathematical expression. If not, would it be considered plagiarism?  The transition from the equation im talking about and the expression that im not citing is not 100% clear. What would you do?
Edit: I’m not explicitly deriving the expression. In this specific instance i have explained the nature of a specific model, which im citing. I then go on in a later part and say: ”because of the nature of the ”..”model, When we perform the transformation in equation ”a”and ”b”we can show that the expression will be ”x ”. In this case, ”x” is the amount of deegres of freedoms.
If I understand correctly, you state and cite formulas, then derive a further formula. Presumably, the derivation isn't new, and you are concerned that you didn't provide a source for the derivation. Given that you consider the further formula to be well-known, it perhaps doesn't matter so much. Nonetheless, to protect yourself, you could email your examiners and explain that you inadvertently forgot to mention that the derivation is not your own, it is a well-known result, perhaps providing a citation.
