In-text Citation Guidelines

Examples                                                                                                           

1.

Editor(s) last name(s) and year of publication placed in brackets at the end of a paraphrased sentence. If there are multiple authors, 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 (Tart, 1969).                        

3.

Sentence beginning with editor(s) last name(s) followed immediately by date in brackets; page # in brackets at the end of the quote. If there are multiple authors, connect final two names with 'and'.

 

According to Tart (1969), "consider this a direct quote" (p. 237).

Remember, in-text citation formatting may change depending on a number of factors.

See Number of Authors, Publication Date, and Page/Paragraph Number or Heading for more information.
