Citations
When quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing from another source for your thesis, you must include an in-text citation. An in-text citation is placed in parenthesis. It includes the author last name, year, and if it is a direct quote, the page number where you found it. If you do not cite your sources, you are plagiarizing. Below are some examples of in-text citations.
Paraphrase and Summary
Include the author and date in parenthesis at the end of a summary or paraphrase.
Include the author and date in parenthesis at the end of a summary or paraphrase. Use the authors name as a signal phrase and follow up with the date.
Quotes
When quoting directly, you can follow the same pattern, but include a page number in parentheses after the quotation.
Quotations over 40 words need to be formatted differently than short quotes. Long quotations are placed in a new paragraph, without quotations, and are indented on either side.

Don't Forget! You need more than just an in-text citation! You must also include a reference in your List of References. |
