1. In-Text Citations
Cite a source using the author’s last name in parentheses at the end of a quotation:
In an article written for Animal Planet in 2014, it reported, “Bronx Zoo has channeled more than $3 million towards conservation projects in central Africa” (Horton).
Note: The period does not go inside the quotation; it goes after the citation.
If there is not an author, cite the source by the title of the article which is also the first item in the bibliography:
Scientific American explained that “AZA now administers some 113 different SSPs covering 181 individual species” (“How Do Zoos Help Endangered Animals?”).
