- 5. In-Text References Include a reference at the end of a sentence. (Greaves, 2004) Greaves (2004) says that references can be written in the middle of a sentence. “For direct quotes, use speech marks and state the page number of the source in the reference.” (Greaves, 2004, p.72) Remember that what you put in the in-text reference must direct the reader to the correct reference in the end list.
