- 10. What needs to be cited? Direct quotes Ideas borrowed Paraphrased material
- 11. In-text Citation needs: Direct Quote All authors’ last names Year of publication Page number Paraphrase All authors’ last names Year of publication
- 12. Direct Quote: In-text citation As researchers Yanovski and Yanovski (2002) have explained, obesity was once considered “either a moral failing or evidence of underlying psychopathology” (p. 592). OR A relationship is defined as “the interdependence between two or more people” (Coombs, 2001, p.106).
- 13. Direct Quote: In-text citation Longer than 40 words? Indented five spaces from left margin in block format Usually it is better to paraphrase
- 14. 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.
- 15. 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.

- 16. 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.
- 17. 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)
- 18. Special cases If you have more than one author with the same last name, use the first initial in the citation (Smith, A., 2002) If you have more than one work in the same year by the same author, use letters a, b, c, etc. to indicate correct source (Entman, 2004a)
- 19. References The in-text citation must match up with the references entry Use the heading “References” at the top of a new page List entries alphabetically Author’s last name (if no author, then by organization name or title) Double space each entry No extra spaces between entries If over one line, entry should have a hanging indent
