When referencing a book with author(s) and editor(s), you must credit both; however, in an in-text citation, only list the
author(s). Remember, you must list the authors and editors in the order that they appear on the title page.
Two examples of formatting an in-text citation for this item are outlined below:

| In-text Citation Guidelines |
Examples |
|
1. Author(s) last name(s) 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 (Dali, 2012). |
|
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 Dali (2012), "consider this a direct quote" (p. 9). |
Remember, in-text citation formatting changes depending on a number of factors.
See Number and Type of Author(s), Publication Date, and Page/Paragraph Number or Heading for more information.
