Citing a Book in Projects/ Research Papers? I am Currently Working on Writing my Undergraduate Minor Project Report. For that I need to Study Various Topics from Various Books.
Now, My Process is to Read the Chapters Thoroughly and then write them in my own words (Basically Paraphrasing). But this isn't like Paraphrasing a Paragraph or a Statement. It's a Whole Chapter.
So, Should I Cite the Book from which I read the Chapter ?
If Yes, Then How ?, Because the Topics would be Spread over a Range of Pages.
Now, I know about Research Papers that this will be Considered as Basic Knowledge and Would'nt be cited. Am I Right ?
Should I Cite the Book from which I read the Chapter ?

Yes, doing otherwise is surely plagiarism.

If Yes, Then How ?, Because the Topics would be Spread over a Range of Pages.

You could open with: The following paraphrases A, B &amp; C 1.

I know about Research Papers that this will be Considered as Basic Knowledge and Would'nt be cited.

The phrase Basic knowledge is subjective. Regardless, over-citing is harmless.
