Citation guidelines: Frequently Asked Questions about Quoting
Frequently Asked Questions: "Frequently Asked Questions for In-Text Citations7. (Q) How do I cite my sources using the in-text citation method?
(A)
Parenthetical citations within the text of your paper are very important to help your reader's find the information that you have used, and to guard against plagiarism. APA requires that you cite all quotes, paraphrases, summaries, and any other sources that you use that is not your own wording.
An in-text citation should always be placed in parentheses.
If a specific page is being referenced, the citation should include the author's last name, the date of publication, and the specific page number being cited.
Example: (Buss, 1981, p. 32)
If you are citing an electronic source use the paragraph number instead of a page number, if available.
Example: (Buss, 1981, para. 5)
If, for some reason, a page number or a paragraph number are not available, direct your readers attention to the material being referenced by a heading proceeding the material, then count down from that heading to the paragraph containing your material.
Example: (Myers, 2000, 'Conclusion' section, para. 1)
If an electronic document does not indicate the name of an author, then refer to it by the first few words of the title.
Example: ('Study finds,' 2001) "
University of Chicago Press Guidelines This is the style I am most used to... quotes are numbered and sources quoted at bottom of page...
Unlike APA and MLA styles, the Chicago style of citing sources does not utilize in-text references; instead, footnotes and endnotes are substituted. The University of Chicago Press endorses the guidelines proposed by Andrew Harnack and Eugene Kleppinger in Online! A Reference Guide to Using Internet Sources. (New York: St. Martins, 1998). The following pages provide examples of how to cite electronic resources using Chicago style based on these guidelines.
World Wide Web sources
Personal communication (e-mail, etc.)
Electronic journals
CD-ROMs
Endnotes / Bibliography page
