What is a good source?

When Should You Use Parenthetical Citations? When quoting any words that are not your own –Quoting means to repeat another source verbatim (or word for word) using quotation marks

When Should You Use Parenthetical Citations? When summarizing facts and ideas from a source –Summarizing means to take ideas from a large passage of another source and condense them, using your own words When paraphrasing a source –Paraphrasing means to use the ideas from another source but change the phrasing into your own words

Handling Quotes in Your Text Author’s last name and page number(s) of quote must appear in the text Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263). For example, Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Handling Parenthetical Citations If the source has no known author, then use an abbreviated version of the title: Full Title: “California Cigarette Tax Deters Smokers” Citation: (“California” A14) If the source is only one page in length or is a web page with no apparent pagination, use the author’s name: Source: Dave Poland’s “Hot Button” web column Citation: (Poland)
