In-Text Citations
In the body paragraphs of your research paper, you will present facts and quotations from your research. You must document, or cite, the sources that you use. These brief citations will match the sources listed on your Works Cited page.
WHEN YOU MUST CITE A SOURCE
1. When using a direct quotation, either from the author or from a person
quoted by the author
2. When using information that is not common knowledge
If someone may question the validity of the information, it must be cited.
3. When using statistics and/or number facts
* When in doubt, cite the source!
GUIDELINES FOR CITING SOURCES
1. List the author’s last name. If an author’s name is not available, use the title or a shortened version of the title. Remember that source titles are underlined, while article titles appear in quotation marks.
2. After the author (or title), list the page number. If the entire source is one page, or if page numbers are not provided, the page number may be omitted.
3. When using an indirect quote, a quotation spoken by a person other than the author, use the abbreviation qtd. in followed by the page number.
