Study Notes
Direct Voice (Quotes )
- Use exact words from the source
- Source identified as a part of or outside sentence
- Parenthetical Citations: Source identified outside sentence
- Example: "the exact words of source" (Family Name, Year, Page number)
- Narrative Citations: Source identified as a part of sentence
- Example: Family Name (Year) reporting verb “the exact words of source” (Page number)
- Direct quotes should be under 40 words
- If longer, use a block quote format, indented, and no quotation marks
In-Text Citations
- Always include quotation marks around direct quotes
- Add a page number to the in-text citation if the source includes page numbers
Reporting Verbs
- Three main categories: strong, neutral, tentative
- Strong verbs convey certainty
- Neutral verbs are descriptive, not judgmental
- Tentative verbs show the writer is unsure
Citation and Reporting Verbs (Focusing on Authors' Number)
- One Author:
- Narrative: According to family name (year of publication), + Sentence.
- Or: Family name (year of publication) + reporting verb + Sentence.
- Parenthetical: Sentence + (family name, year of publication).
- Two Authors:
- Narrative: According to 1st author family name and 2nd author family name (year of publication), + Sentence.
- Or: 1st author family name and 2nd author family name (year of publication) + reporting verb + Sentence.
- Parenthetical: Sentence + (1st author family name & 2nd author family name, year of publication).
- Three or More Authors (et al.):
- Narrative: According to 1st author family name et al.(year of publication), + Sentence.
- Or: 1st author family name et al.(year of publication) + reporting verb + Sentence.
- Parenthetical: Sentence + (1st author family name et al., year of publication).
- Website
- Narrative: According to Website name (year of publication), + Sentence.
- Or: Website name (year of publication) + reporting verb + Sentence.
- Parenthetical: Sentence + (Website name, year of publication).
Special Issues

- Secondary Sources: If you read a work by Author X that cites Author Y's work, cite both as "Author Y (Year) as cited in Author X (Year)".
