In-Text Citation Examples

Narrative In-Text Citation

According to Parker, "A direct quote from the article."

"A direct quote from this article; however, only include the page number if the electronic article has the publication page numbers" (Parker).

Parenthetical In-Text Citation

Typically, a paraphrased sentence will have the author's name and the page number, if available, at the end. When paraphrasing from an article without a named author, use the title of the article for the citation and the page number if available ("The Scientists Speak").
