"itations within #entences =ou should always gi-e credit to the researchersDauthors whose findings or opinions you are mentioning in your paperE not to do so is plagiarism. Besides pro-iding a F0eferencesG section at the end of your paper (as described on the pre-ious page&) you should also cite authorsDresearchers within the te%t of your paper. A good rule of thumb is to cite authors once per paragraph) unless you are discussing multiple articles within the same paragraph. *n that instance) cite each idea e-ery time you switch articles. ;here are two basic ways to cite within the te%t of your paper. 1. Sub.ect 'itations: Hne way is to use the authors as the sub.ect of the sentence. a. Hne author I FSmith (2""8& found that ice cream sales are highly correlated with burglary incidence rates.G b. FSmith and 8ones (2""8& suggest thatJG c. ;hree or more authors) first time cited I FSmith) 8ones) and ;hompson (155#& argue thatJG d. ;hree or more authors) subseKuent citations I FSmith et al. (155#& argue thatJG (et al. is the abbre-iated form of Fet aliaG) which is 1atin for Fand othersG& <otice that in all of these e%amples of the authors being used as the sub.ect) when there are two or more authors LandM is spelled out (not L9M& and the year of the publication is listed in parenthesis after the names. 2. Bnd-of-Sentence 'itations: ;he second way to cite in the te%t of a paper is to list the authors in parenthesis at the end of a sentence in which you are describing their wor+Dfindings. F'hildren are happier when they are both cared for and lo-ed (Smith 9 8ones) 2""8&.G ;he same rules mentioned abo-e about how to list many authors apply. ?owe-er) note that with end-of-sentence citations) use an L9M instead of LandM) and put the period of the sentence after the parenthesis.
