Referring to Text in Writing

When should you use in-text citation within your paper?

• At the end of each page

• At the end of every paragraph

• Whenever information had come from another source

For all paraphrased or summarized content, the in-text citation must include:

• The author’s last name and the page or paragraph number

• The title of the document and the author’s last name

• The author’s last name and the date of publication

Which parenthetical citation is correct?

• (Macallan and Jameson, 2015, p. 18)

• (Macallan, 2015, pp. 18)

• (Macallan:2015)

• (Macallan&Jameson, 2015, p.18)

Which of the following examples includes a properly formatted in-text citation for a quote?

• John acknowledged “After running for political office, it was deemed appropriate that we…” (1997, pg.128)

• “The emphasis on philosophical discourse is related ..”(William & Snode, 2005, p.45).

• Johns (2019) stated “the placement of the photographs is not conducive…” (para.3)

Select the statement that is true for APA formatted citations:

• If there is no page numbers, list the heading or section name

• If you are using an online source, you can just give the URL in the citation

• If no author is listed, then a citation does not need to be included in your paper.

If the source you are reading includes research from another source, and you can include that information in your paper, how would you cite the source?

• Use the phrase “as cited in…” followed by the secondary source citation

• Use the phrase “indirect source” followed by the secondary source citation

• Include the name and title of the original research, but not the secondary source

Which of the following in-text citation is the correct format for a source with 3 or more authors?

• (Smith et al.,2016)

• (Smith, et.al , 2016)

• (Smith, Jones, &Mort, 2016)

Johnson argued that ... (as cited in Smith, 2003, p. 102). Is the above in-text citation correct?

• YES

• NO

If we refer to two or more sources by one author, we make a distinction between them by using:

• Brewer (2014a)

• Brewer (2014:1)

• Brewer (2014:A)

• Brewer (2014: January)

If two or more different authors wrote individual papers on the same subject, what do you write in the parenthesis?

• (Jameson & Macallan, 1998 & 2001)

• (Jameson, 1998; Macallan, 2001)

• (Jameson 1998, Macallan 2001)

• (Jameson, 1998 & Macallan, 2001)
