When creating a reference or in-text citation, you must list the authors in the order that they appear on the title page.
Two examples of formatting an in-text citation for this item are outlined below:
| Reference Information |
Eco, U., Farina, G., & Mongiat Farina, C. (2015). How to write a thesis. Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press. |
| In-text Citation Guidelines |
Examples |
|
1. Include each authors' last name and year of publication placed in brackets at the end of a paraphrased sentence. Connect final two names with '&'. Note: If you are paraphrasing from a lengthy document, also include page, paragraph or heading info. |
Consider this a paraphrased sentence (Eco, Farina, & Mongiat Farina, 2015). |
|
2. Sentence beginning with author(s) last name(s) followed immediately by date in brackets; page # in brackets at the end of the quote. Connect final two names with 'and'. |
According to Eco, Farina, and Mongiat Farina (2015), "consider this a direct quote" (p. 70). |
Remember, in-text citation formatting may change depending on a number of factors.
See Number and Type of Author(s), Publication Date, and Page/Paragraph Number or Heading for more information.
