In-text Citations

In-text Citations In-text citations work with the works-cited list: According to Naomi Baron, reading is “just half of literacy. The other half is writing” (194). One might even suggest that reading is never complete without writing (MLA Handbook, 54). Works Cited Baron, Naomi S. “Redefining Reading: The Impact of Digital ComCommunication Media.” PMLA, vol. 128, no. 1, Jan. 2013, pp. 1pp. 193-200.

In-text Citations The copied words go in quotations. According to Naomi Baron, reading is “just half of literacy. The other half is writing” (194). One might even suggest that reading is never complete without writing. The page number goes in parenthesis.

If the author’s name appears in a prior sentence, the name and page number go together: Reading is “just half of literacy. The other half is writing” (Baron 194). One might even suggest that reading is never complete without writing. The author’s name and page number goes in parenthesis.

If there are two authors with the same last name, use their first initial in the citation’s parenthesis: Reading is “just half of literacy. The other half is writing” (N. Baron 194). One might even suggest that reading is never complete without writing. The author’s name and page number goes in parenthesis.

If more than one work of the author is included in the essay, add a short form of the current source’s title: Reading is “just half of literacy. The other half is writing” (Baron, “Redefining” 194). One might even suggest that reading is never complete without writing. The author’s name, short source title, and page number goes in parenthesis.

If the title is included in the text, the page number follows the in-text citation: In Redefining Reading: The Impact of Digital Communication Media, Baron states, “just half of literacy. The other half is writing” (194). One might even suggest that reading is never complete without writing. Just the page number goes in parenthesis.

The page number must go in parenthesis to prevent plagiarism. Every time we borrow an author’s work, even in our own words, we must add an in-text citation: While reading may be the core of literacy, literacy can be complete only when reading accompanies writing (194). The page number must go in parenthesis to prevent plagiarism.

Authors’ names and page numbers When our borrowed work is written by more than one author, we must add both names, the page numbers, and a semicolon: While reading may be the core of literacy, literacy can be complete only when reading accompanies writing (Baron 194; Jacobs 55). Authors’ names and page numbers prevent plagiarism.

His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too. (186)
