FAQ

The Question

I need help with in-text citations

Our Answer

The rules you'll follow depend on the citation style your teacher has asked you to use.

MLA Format

MLA format recommends you use the author-page method enclosed in parentheses. Of course the exact way you present your in-text citation depends on how you've introduced the source within the body of your paper. 

APA Format

APA format recommends you use the author-date method for parenthetical citations. 

Examples

I've linked to examples of both styles below.

Good luck,

Iris Carroll
