Joe figure blown up to life size would have had biceps twenty-seven inches in diameter” (Anderegg, 2007, p. 55). Citation information within the sentence (paraphrase) According to Mehus-Roe (2005), brittannies are best suited to active dog owners (p. 222). No page number - use paragraph number (quote) The beagle's "compact size, short easy to care for coat and intelligence make the beagle an excellent family dog" (American Kennel Club, n.d., para. 3). No page number - if the work is too long to count paragraphs, use the heading/chapter title and paragraph number (quote) Teen’s “emergence as a distinctive market during the past half-century has been tied up with the exploitation of their emerging sexuality and need to identify with their peer group” (Moynihan, 2005, “adolescence,” para. 10). Indirect quote / secondary source - Use "as cited in" if you'd like to quote someone that's been quoted in another work (quote) Entwistle argues that “clothes reveal something of the relationship between the body a person has and the society in which that body finds itself, and how this body is made acceptable in that society” (as cited in Grimstad Klepp & Storm-Mathisen, 2005, p. 326).
