Citation
Goal:
• Be able to use credible research to support
ideas in the correct format
What is a “credible” source?
• Use a scholarly journal or a primary source
• PPCC.edu library database tutorial
• Do NOT use wikipedia or a blog
Why Cite My Sources?
1. Adds credibility to your paper and supports
your ideas
2. Gives credit to the person who provided
the information
3. Offers the reader a way to find more
information
Summarize, Paraphrase, or
Quote?
• Summarize-to get the gist of the idea
without specific supporting evidence
• Paraphrase-use specific supporting evidence
but want to put in your own words
• Quote-when it can’t be said any better and
no need to shorten
Quotes
– 1 or 2 sentences
– Do not use block quotes!
– “Employment of lawyers is projected to grow
10 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as fast as
the average for all occupations” (“Lawyers: Job
Outlook”).
When do I Cite?
• At the end of the sentence or paragraph
indicating the above information came from
that source.
• Do not include your opinion in the text
above the citation.
MLA In-text citation
•
Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source
information on the Works Cited page.
–
•
More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text, must be the first
thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry in the Works Cited List.
Example: Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as "symbol-using
animals" (3). Human beings have been described as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3).
Work Cited
Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method.
Berkeley: U of California P, 1966. Print.
Example in-text
• Author:
– Baseball is a popular American sport(Author’s
last name page number) (Smith 3).
• No Author:
– Baseball is a popular American sport (“title of
web page or article” page number).
– (“What Registered Nurses Do” 2013).
MLA In-text citation cont.
In-text Citations for Print Sources with Known Author
•
For Print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase
(usually the author’s last name) and a page number.
•
*If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.
•
Example: Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as "symbol-using animals" (3). Human beings have
been described as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3).
•
These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the
left-hand margin of an entry in the Works Cited:
•
Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. Berkeley: U of California P,
1966. Print.
•
In-text Citations for Print Sources with No Known Author
•
When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name. Place the title in
quotation marks if it's a short work (e.g. articles) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television
shows, entire websites) and provide a page number.
•
Example: We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily
accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . . " ("Impact
of Global Warming" 6).
MLA In-text
• Use an in-text citation after ANY information
you gathered from a source.
– Especially after a hard fact!
• Paraphrase what they said in your own words
• At the end of the information you used put a (
author’s last name, year published) then a
period.
• If there is no author cite the title of the article
and the year instead.

Basic Rules for Works Cited Page:
Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your research paper. It
should have the same one-inch margins and last name, page number header as the rest of
your paper.
Label the page Works Cited (do not italicize the words Works Cited or put them in
quotation marks) and center the words Works Cited at the top of the page.
Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries.
Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations five spaces so that you create a
hanging indent.
List page numbers of sources efficiently, when needed. If you refer to a journal article
that appeared on pages 225 through 250, list the page numbers on your Works Cited
page as 225-50.
