Two Parts to Citations
  • In text
  • References (on their own page but given a page
    number along with your report)

Sample

In Text
There are three basic ways to cite a source in
text.
5
One
I can use the authors last name and date of
publication in parenthesis within my text.
A recent survey of freshman students found that
most students would prefer to start school later
in the day (Reickard, 2005).
6
Two
Or I can use the name directly and put the date
in parenthesis.
Reickard (2005) states that most freshmen would
prefer to start school later in the day.
7
Three
Or I can write about the study in my paragraph.
In 2005, Reickard conducted a study proving that
freshman students would prefer to start school
later in the day.

  • If you only use part of a source include the page
    numbers in the in text documentation. Example
    (Reickard, 2005, p. 5) or (Reickard, 2005, pp.
    5-23) or (Reickard, 2005, chap. 5)
  • If there is no author you would use the first few
    main words of the title or the name of the
    company or corporation that authored the work.

9
References
  • Every source that you refer to in your paper
    needs to be listed
  • The reference page is started on a new page. The
    title of the page is References. The title
    References, is entered with a capital R at the
    beginning but the rest of the letters are lower
    case. References is centered at the top of the
    page.
