In-text citations – used to put important source information in parentheses after a paraphrase or quote NOTE: You should NOT have more than 1/3 of your paper cited In-text citations

Used within your research paper to refer readers to the source in the Works Cited page In case the reader wants to check it out! Gives credit where credit is due No in-text citation = plagiarism! Why Use In-Text Citations? http://tilt.library.skagit.edu/module4/plagiarism.htm

In-Text Citations: Use when… Paraphrasing an original idea from a source Citing a fact that is NOT “common knowledge” Summarizing another person’s idea Quoting http://www.lib.lsu.edu/instruction/tigertail/nf/module3/images/plagiarism.GIF

For MLA style, in-text citations should include: Author’s last name Page number -Citation comes BEFORE the closing punctuation mark. Example, Quotation from GALE eBook: “He received honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, and Oxford universities” (Benson 583). Example, Paraphrase: Benjamin Franklin was educated at Harvard, Oxford, and Yale universities (Benson 583). In-Text Citations: MLA

Set-up Line – a “signal phrase” that uses the author’s name to “set up” the fact/idea If you use a set-up line = do NOT need to put the author’s name in parentheses As Sonia Benson explains Example, direct quotation: As Sonia Benson explains, “In 1787, Franklin attended the Constitutional Convention, during which members wrote the U.S. Constitution” (583). Sonia Benson tells us that Example, paraphrase: Sonia Benson tells us that Benjamin Franklin played a part in creating the U.S. Constitution in 1787 (583). Set-Up Line

Stand up, head over to the front or back board, and write down 1 highlight from your notes! Pause, Stretch & Reflect!

If you’re using an internet source that has no page numbers, such as an article, then only include the author’s last name in the citation. Example from a New Yorker article found online: “Even within Apple, Jobs was known for taking credit for others’ ideas” (Gladwell). In-Text Citations: No page numbers
13
When the author’s name is NOT given, the first thing in parentheses should be the first word or a short phrase in your entry for the source in your Works Cited page Usually the first word in the title Not “the” In quotes In-Text Citations: Author Unknown
14
Author Unknown: Example Example of a Paraphrase from Biography.com: Citation: "Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.." 2014. The Biography.com website. May 01 2014 Paraphrase: Barack was primarily raised by his mother because his father was studying in Massachusetts before his parents split apart (“Barack”).
