In-Text Citations:
In-text citations are used to give credit to the original source of information within your text. The basic
format for in-text citations is:
Examples:
Remember, if there are multiple authors, list them all the first time you cite the work. For subsequent
citations, you can use the first author's name followed by "et al." (Smith et al., 2023).
Additional Tips:
1. No Author: If a source has no known author, use the title in place of the author.
2. No Date: If a source has no date, use "n.d." (no date) in place of the year.
3. Page Numbers: Include page numbers for direct quotes, and optionally for paraphrases.
4. Online Sources: Include the URL or DOI for online sources.
6. Capitalization: Capitalize the first letter of the first word of the title and any subtitles, as well as
any proper nouns.
