In-text Citation Guidelines

Examples                                                                                                           

1.

Author, screen name, or organization and year of publication placed in brackets at the end of a paraphrased sentence.

Note: If you are paraphrasing from a lengthy document, also include page, paragraph or heading info. 

 

Consider this a paraphrased sentence (Parkin, 2018).                        

2.

Sentence beginning with author, screen name, or organization followed immediately by date in brackets; page or paragraph # in brackets at the end of the quote.

 

According to Parkin (2018), "consider this a direct quote" (para. 1).

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.
