In-text Citation Guidelines

Examples                                                                                                           

1.

Author(s) last name(s), year of publication, and page # (if necessary) placed in brackets at the end of a paraphrased sentence. Connect final two names with '&'.

 

Consider this a paraphrased sentence (Robinson, 2017).                        

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 Robinson (2017), "consider this a direct quote" (p. 10).

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.
