How to do in text citations. URGENT.?
Okay... You put it in your paper AND on a separate sheet of paper at the end of your paper; that sheet should say "Works Cited" in the center at the top. Then on the left you cite the author/name of the work/etc. For the in-paper part--let's say you just mentioned something in the paper that you learned from a certain webpage or book. Let's say the person who wrote the article where you learned the info from is named Diana Smith. If you are quoting this person/article in your paper, you would go: "Quote here" (Smith). If you aren't quoting, but just stating something (in your own words) that you learned from the article, you would write it like this, and then after you're done saying it, etc.etc., you do the EXACT same thing (minus the quotation marks.) If there is a page number, you would do (Smith, 57). If there's no author, you just put the name of the article--like ("Cerebral Palsy Information"). The works cited page is a little more complicated. Go here: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resour... Then scroll down the page and click on "Works Cited Page: Basic Format."
In-text citations, help?
It should be On the Big Island of Hawaii the Natural Energy Laboratory Authority of Hawaii (NELHA) have been running an OTEC plant since the 1970’s (Hawaii’s Energy Future.com 1). The period goes AFTER the in-text citation. Also, for the in-text citation, there's no need to put the .com part, You could even just leave it as (Hawaii) and leave it at that, page numbers aren't necessary since that site doesn't have page numbers and your instructor would not know which part of the site is "page 1" and which part is "page 2."
How to do APA in-text citation of website?
The website I am referring to states no author or date published. It is a .gov web page. I don't think my professor is going to be very strict, but I do need to cite were I paraphrased. I did no direct quotations.
How do you cite a quote in the dedication of a book?
That's a good question. Essentially you're citing a "quote within a quote." It's not as obvious because Rachel Carson's text may not be around the dedication. For example: "I'd like to dedicate this book to Albert Schweitzer who wrote, 'Man has lost the capacity to foresee and forestall. He will end by destroying the earth.'" It'd be more obvious what to do in this type of situation. For your Works Cited page, you just cite the source (Silent Spring) as you normally would. The reason is that normally you would accompany the Works Cited page with an in-text citation explaining what's happening. For example: Albert Schweitzer wrote, "Man has lost the capacity to foresee and forestall. He will end by destroying the earth" (qtd. in Carson). Add page number if necessary. Because you aren't using any in-text citations, though, then there's nothing to do other than follow perhaps the MLA rules on prefaces/introductions. "If the writer of the piece is different from the author of the complete work, then write the full name of the principal work's author after the word "By." For example, if you were to cite Hugh Dalziel Duncan’s introduction of Kenneth Burke’s book Permanence and Change, you would write the entry as follows: Duncan, Hugh Dalziel. Introduction. Permanence and Change: An Anatomy of Purpose. By Kenneth Burke. 1935. 3rd ed. Berkeley: U of California P, 1984. xiii-xliv. Print."
Citations: How do I in text cite an old saying often repeated by someone famous?
I found a few sources that discuss how to cite proverbs. The first source is based on the APA citation style; the second source is based on the MLA citation style; and the third source is not tied to a particular citation style.1. Tallahassee Community College Library Services APA Guidehttps://www.tcc.fl.edu/Current/A...This APA guide indicates that you do not have to cite proverbs because they are "common knowledge." Since this guide was produced by a community college library I trust the information in it.2. MLA Format: A Handbook for Woodland Hills High Schoolhttp://www1.whsd.net/schools/HIG...This MLA guide indicates that you do not have to cite "a well known quote" or "a familiar proverb." Since this handbook was published by a high school for its students I trust the information.3. English Club: Proper Citationhttp://www.englishclub.com/writi...This citation guide indicates that you do not need to cite "a universal proverb." I found this third resource on the ipl2http://www.ipl2.orgThe ipl2 uses librarians to select reliable online resources, so I trust the information on English Club's website.During my research I came across examples of quoting proverbs. Many of the examples simply explained the origin of the proverb before stating it, like:David Brower has often repeated the Native American proverb "We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."I hope this information helps you and others who may have questions on citing proverbs.--Valerie FlorezLibrary & Information Science StudentIf you have more questions, your local librarian can help.Many library web sites have a link where you can chat online with a librarian 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!Library Locator - Find a Library Near You
What should I include in MLA in-text citations when citing a movie?
Normally, the movie title is written as per normal bodytext in italics. If it needs to be an in-text citation, then I’ve nearly always seen it as:—“These are not the droids you’re looking for” (Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, 1977) are words that have passed into the global psyche.”Then in the bibliography or footnote, the movies are listed by title. Each entry is in this sequence:—Movie title (in italics).“Directed by” or “Dir.” then the director’s name.“Performances by” or “Perf.” then the movie stars’ names (if relevant).Production or studio name.Year of release.Your access date (if applicable).Examples of three MLA styles in bibliographic citations:—Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Directed by George Lucas. Twentieth Century Fox, 1977.The Night of the Iguana. Dir. John Huston. Perf. Richard Burton and Ava Gardner. MGM, 1964. Film. 21 Sept. 2016.The Usual Suspects. Directed by Bryan Singer, performances by Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palminteri, Stephen Baldwin, and Benecio del Toro, Polygram, 1995.Sometimes there is a need to emphasise specific directors or the actors — so begin with the name of the director or performer, followed by the movie title.Lucas, George, director. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Twentieth Century Fox, 1977.Burton, Richard, actor. The Night of the Iguana. MGM, 1964.Thanks for the A2A.
How do I do an in-text citation of a website with no author in MLA?
As a long-time teacher, I prefer to give you the tools to answer citation questions yourself. See the Owl at Purdue: in this case, in-text citations for MLA. MLA Formatting and Style Guide
In reference to in-text citations, are signal phrases necessary when switching between different sources? Do sources need to be reintroduced if they were already mentioned in a previous paragraph?
I’m not clear what you’re asking in your first question. The answer to your second question is puzzling as well. If you’re using in-text citations, you don’t “introduce” sources. You just cite them in parentheses.I’d strongly recommend spending some time at www.OWL.English.Purdue.edu. They have extensive coverage of both MLA and APA citations.You can also go to www.ResearchPaperSteps.com. I have a sample research paper there that might be helpful. I also have videos and PowerPoints that thoroughly explain how to do a research paper. Everything is free!
