In-text Citations
All references in the reference list need to be cited in text (you
need to refer to and use your references to
support your ideas). There are many ways to cite a source in
text, but regardless of which method you use,
you need to include the author(s), the year, and the page(s).
Three different examples of the same in-text
citation from your textbook are provided below:
Example 1:
According to Wood and Fixmer-Oraiz, “a theory is a way to
describe, explain, and predict relationships
among phenomena” (2017, p. 35).

- 1. COMS 360 Litke – Topic Exploration Assignment 1 Topic Exploration Assignment 1 requires you to select a topic related to EITHER chapter 3 (women’s rhetorical movements) OR chapter 4 (men’s rhetorical movements) and to explore that topic in greater detail. You will begin your exploration by reviewing the related material in chapter 3 or chapter 4 and then will conduct additional exploration of your topic. You will need to narrow your topic to meet the requirements of the assignment. Keep in mind that papers must be specifically focused on gender. This assignment serves to strengthen skills in information competence relative to research and support of ideas. Consequently, you are required to conduct additional research on your topic. Topic Exploration 1 must include a minimum of three current, scholarly academic sources. For Topic Exploration 1, the textbook can be included as one of the three minimum required sources but should not be the only source or the primary source of supporting material for your exploration of your selected topic. For most papers/topics, “current” would typically mean roughly the last ten years, however, some topics might warrant older sources. The assignment requires that you locate scholarly or academic sources which will be the general expectation. However, some topics might be so current that the only available sources might not be found in scholarly/journal type sources. So, the requirement for current, scholarly, academic sources could vary given topics selected. All papers require
- 2. credible sources. Make sure that you have a minimum of three references; that is a requirement of the assignment. Requirements and Evaluation: Once you have a topic related to chapter 3 (women’s rhetorical movements) or chapter 4 (men’s rhetorical movements, you will need to conduct additional research on your topic.

In your Topic Exploration Assignment 1, you are required to include a minimum of three sources (one of the three required sources in Topic Exploration 1 can include the textbook, if you choose to use the textbook). Therefore, your reference list will indicate references (plural). The title is capitalized, centered, in bold letters on the last page of your essay. All entries are listed alphabetically, by the first author’s last name. You can italicize or underline the title of the book or journal. You can locate other guidelines online.
