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 (Shumsky, 2018).                        

2.

Sentence beginning with author(s) last name(s) followed immediately by date in brackets; page or paragraph # in brackets at the end of the quote. Connect final two names with 'and'.

 

According to Shumsky (2018), "consider this a direct quote" (para. 7).

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.
