In-Text Citation Tips

In-Text Reminder: Use the first word in the Works Cited entry and place it in parenthesis (ignore "a," "an," & "the"). If no author is given, start with the first word of the title. Provide the appropriate page number if the source is paginated.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER APPEARS FIRST IN THE WORKS CITED ENTRY IS WHAT WILL BE USED TO CREATE THE IN-TEXT CITATION.

EXAMPLES:

Short Work from a web site:

"Social and Historical Context:Vitality." Arapesh Grammar and Digital Language Archive Project, Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, www.arapesh.org/socio_historical_context_vitality.php. Accessed 22 Mar. 2016.

In-text citation: ("Social").

Book with one author:
