In-text citations:

Example: Visual studies, because it is such a new discipline, may be "too easy" (Elkins, “Visual Studies" 63). However, visual studies are “on the rise because companies are seeking new ways to attract attention to their products and advertisements” (Elkins, “New Media” 23).

Citing different works by the same author:

Format: (Last name, “title” page number).

Use the author’s last name AND the title of the work in this situation.

In-text citations:Incorporated into the sentence:

If you add part of the citation in the sentence itself, you don’t need to repeat that information in the in-text citation:

Smith mentions that “big game hunting in winter presents additional challenges” such as “wearing snow-colored camouflage” (54).

Jones states that “governments are regulating winter hunting season with more restrictions” (“Hunting Alaska” 33). He also states that “these restrictions do not seem to be hindering fans of winter hunting” (“Winter Hunts” 15).

Paraphrasing:You might not always want to include a direct quote. Instead, you can re-phrase information you learned from a particular source. If you use information for a source, you should STILL cite it (even if you don’t quote it!)

In her study of the roles of nurses in a critical care unit, Chase also found a hierarchy that distinguished the roles of experts and others. Just as the educational experts described above do not directly teach students, the experts in this unit do not directly attend to patients. That is the role of the staff nurses, who, like teachers, have their own hierarchy of seniority (156).
