[QUOTE="QuantumCurt, post: 4951440, member: 478308"] The material contained in a physics textbook falls more under the realm of "assumed knowledge" as far as physics research goes. It's well established material. One isn't going to cite a physics textbook as a 'source' for using Newton's 2nd Law, Conservation of Energy, Maxwell's Equations, or the Schrodinger Equation. It's foundational to the field and doesn't need to be cited. I could see citations being used from a textbook on a more controversial topic such as String Theory or Loop Quantum Gravity and such, where it may not be such common knowledge. But even still, the things contained in those textbooks are generally fundamental to the specific field being researched, and typically aren't being debated(within the scope of the field). A typical researcher would assume that the people who are reading their paper would know what was being referenced. [/QUOTE]
