- 2. When you report on research, you must explain where you got your information, so that
- 3. your reader can check to see if you are right.
- 4. On the last page of your paper, you list all your sources of information. In APA format, this page is titled “References.” In MLA format, this is called your “Works Cited” page.
- 6. Then, in the body of your paper, you provide in-text citations.
- 7. Sometimes, the in-text citation is in parentheses following a quotation or a paraphrase of information from the source:
- 8. Here is an in-text citation that gives the last name of the author of a book, and the page number of the quotation.
- 9. The author’s last name, Danhof, begins the entry for the book on the “Works Cited” page.
- 11. An article from the Internet usually has no page numbers, so in that case you cite only the author’s last name.
- 12. If you have already mentioned the author’s name in the body of the text, no further in-text citation is needed:
- 14. The important thing is to make it easy for your reader to find the source on the “Works Cited” list.
- 16. The in-text citations show the reader where to look for the source on your “Works Cited” list.
- 17. For this reason, your in-text citation must begin with the same words that begin your entry on the “Works Cited” list.
- 18. Now we will look at some basic models for the entries on your “Works Cited” list.
- 19. Here is the model for a book:
- 20. Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication.
- 22. Here is the title page: N

- 24. Company date
- 25. Where is the Random House Publishing Corporation? Google is your friend!
- 27. Tan, Amy. The Hundred Secret Senses. New York: Random House, 1995.
- 28. Here is the model for an article or essay from a collection. You would use this model to cite a reading from a published textbook like Sourcework:
- 29. Last name, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection. Ed. Editor's Name(s). Place of Publication: Publisher, Year. Page range of entry.
- 30. Ma, Yo-Yo. “Paths of Globalization from Berbers to Bach." Sourcework: Academic Writing From Sources. Ed. Nancy El Dollahite Julie Haun. Boston: Heinle/Cengage Learning, 2013. 182-184.
- 31. Tips to remember: *Copy the punctuation exactly. *If information is missing, leave it out and go on to the next thing.
- 32. Here is the model for periodical (a newspaper or magazine):
- 33. Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Periodical Day Month Year: pages.
- 35. "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.” Time 30 June 1947:1. (Note that there is no author given, so the title of the article comes first.)
- 36. Notice that: *All dates are in MLA format. *If you don’t know the author, you omit it and go to the title. *If there is no date, put “n.d.” for “no date.”
- 37. Here is the model for a page on a Web site:
- 38. Author’s Name (if available). “Title of Web Page.” Name of the Main Web Site in Italics, Publisher, publication date, (if available), URL. Date of access.
- 39. Now, let’s try it:
- 41. The title of this page, or article, is “Violence Drives Immigration from Central America.” The author’s name is Sarah Bermeo. Sarah is her first name, and Bermeo is her last, or family name. When you list her on your “Works Cited” page, the family name comes first.
- 42. Follow MLA rules for capitalizing titles, even though they were not followed on the website you are citing.
- 43. Bermeo, Sarah. “Violence Drives Immigration from Central America.” Name of the Main Web Site in Italics, Publisher, publication date, (if available), URL. Date of access.
- 44. Now, you need to find the name of the main website: Remember that pages of a website are like the pages in a book. The name of the main website is like the title of a book.
- 45. .

- 48. Domain name
- 51. Bermeo, Sarah. “Violence Drives Immigration from Central America.” Brookings, Publisher, publication date, (if available), URL. Date of access.
- 52. Next, you need to find publisher of the main Internet site: That is, the person responsible for putting it up on the Internet.
- 53. Finding this can be tricky. Often, you can find out who holds the copyright.
- 54. The sponsor may have the same name as the main Internet site, or it may be different.
- 56. Bermeo, Sarah. “Violence Drives Immigration from Central America.” Brookings, Brookings Institution , publication date, (if available), URL. Date of access.

- 64. Bermeo, Sarah. “Violence Drives Immigration from Central America. Brookings, Brookings Institution, 26 June 2018, www.brookings.edu/blog/future- development/2018/06/26/violence- drives-immigration-from-central- america. 3 December 2019.
