Parenthetical vs. In-Sentence Citations
• Online writing tutors should ensure they use
an appropriate tone when giving feedback to
students (Hewett, 2010).
• As Hewett (2010) explained, online writing
tutors should ensure they use an appropriate
tone when giving feedback to students.
7
Publication Year Rules
Always include the publication year for the first intext citation of a source. You may eliminate
publication year in any subsequent in-text citations.
• This rule starts over in each new paragraph.
• Parenthetical citations ALWAYS include the year.
8
Many students are new to online education.
Because of this, Hewett (2010) suggested that
online tutors should be especially careful with the
tone of their feedback. One way Hewett noted that
tutors can improve their tone is by extensive
training before working with students. Managers
should be careful to ensure tutors receive training
as they gain more experience, too (Hewett, 2010).
In practice, then, tutor training becomes an
important aspect of an online Writing Center’s
development of tutors.

Final Quick Tips for in-text Citations

• Several studies have linked increased television watching
to a rise in rates of obesity (Cappell, 2012; Lenard &
Swann, 2009; Richardson, 2012)
• Using “et al.” in in-text citations
• See p. 177 of 6th edition APA manual
• Meaning “and others”
• One work by three of more authors (after first mention)
– The combination of a sedentary lifestyle and frequent fast food
consumption increases chances of obesity by 35% (Kellar, Smith,
& Jones, 2010). Kellar et al. (2010) also stated that this
combination decreases overall energy levels.
