Just submitted a paper last night and everything was properly cited, quotes and figures and stuff were cited with in text citations and i had a full bibliography BUT there was one little bit that i forgot to cite (no quotes, no figures, just forgot one little thing that’s not exactly common knowledge but not super niche info)
I immediately emailed my prof this morning with the correct citation to cover my ass but I’m freaking out 😭 Is this a normal ish thing to do? I’ve never had to do this before so Im not sure, but i figured i’d proactively catch it before she did.
basically: should i be fine? is this freak out necessary? THANK YOU
