In-text citations: The other side of the coin! They refer to the full citations in the References.

Include:

Author last name(s)

Publication date

Page number (required if quoting, encouraged when paraphrasing)

Put all of this information either in parentheses, or within the text of your paper. Examples:

“The moon is made of green cheese” (Dolinger, 2009, p. 99).

Dolinger (2009) said, “The moon is made of green cheese” (p. 99).

(Note: Quotations of 40+ words should be block quotations.)

Multiple Authors

For two authors, always list both last names connected by the “&” symbol when in parentheses, or “and” when not. Examples:

(Geisel & Lewis, 2006)

Geisel and Lewis (2006) said…

For 3-5 authors, list all the first time you cite the source. After that, use the first author’s name, followed by “et al.” Example (in different paragraphs in the paper text, if in the same paragraph see 6.12 in the Manual):

Salinger, Geisel, and Lewis (2007) found that blah, blah, blah... = first in-text citation

Salinger et al. (2007) stated that… = subsequent citations

With 6 or more, just use the first author’s name, followed by et al. Example:

Dickens et al. (2001) argued…

Corporations, Government Agencies, Associations as authors

Spell out each time they appear in in-text citations.

No author available

Use a shortened title in parentheses (start with the first word). Example:

National Library Week is in April (“Library Event Rocks,” 2009)

Article title is: Library Event Rocks Whitewater in October

Use “ ” around titles of articles, chapters or web pages. Italicize titles of periodicals, books, brochures, or reports.
