- 13. Direct Quote: In-text citation Obesity was once considered “either a moral failing or evidence of underlying psychopathology” (Yanovski and Yanovski, 2002, p. 592). A relationship is defined as “the interdependence between two or more people” (Coombs, 2001, p.106).
- 14. Direct Quote: In-text citation Longer than 40 words? Indented five spaces from left margin in block format Usually it is better to paraphrase
- 15. The wrong way to paraphrase: Failure to Cite Source Original “They desire, for example, virtue and the absence of vice, no less really than pleasure and the absence of pain.” Source: Mill, John Stuart. “Utilitarianism.” On Liberty and Other Essays. New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. Quote is from page 169. Paraphrase People want morality just as much as they want happiness.
- 16. The wrong way to paraphrase: Lack of Significant Rewording Original “To the young American architects who made the pilgrimage, the most dazzling figure of all was Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School.” Source: Wolfe, Tom. From Bauhaus to Our House. New York: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1981. Quote is from page 10.

- 17. Paraphrase: In-text citation Original America today has veered too far in the direction of formal testing without adequate consideration of the costs and limitations of an exclusive emphasis on that approach. Paraphrase In the United States, the education system places too much emphasis on formal testing, overlooking the limitations and expenses imposed when that assessment strategy is employed exclusively (Gardner, 1993).
- 18. Paraphrase: In-text citation Original The Republican Convention of 1860 … is sometimes seen as a symbol of Whig triumph within the party. A closer look, however, indicates that the Whig’s triumph within the party was of a very tentative nature.” Paraphrase Contrary to many historians, Eric Foner (1995)argues that the Republican platform of 1860 should not be understood as an indication of Whig dominance of the party.
- 19. In-text Citations More than one author Two authors Greenfield and Savage (1990) (Greenfield & Savage, 1990, p. 567) Three to five authors You must first identify all of the authors either in the signal phrase or the first citation. Terrace, Petitto, Sanders, and Bever (1979) believed… (Terrace, Petitto, Sanders, & Bever, 1979) After you have identified all, you may use “et al.” Terrace et al. (1979) stated…… (Terrace et al., 1979) Six or more authors Use first authors last name and then et al.
- 20. In-text Citations Organization as author Government or other organization Use organization name as author in signal phrase Use organization in parenthetical citation The National Institute of Mental Health (2001)… (National Institute of Mental Health, 2001)
