Study Notes
Understanding In-Text Citations and Bibliographies
- In-text citations and bibliographies are crucial for understanding and verifying information found in another author's work.
- In-text citations signal the source of borrowed information, indicated by parentheses.
- The citation typically contains the author's last name(s) or article title, followed by a page number if relevant.
- Citations are essential links to the source listed in the works cited page or bibliography.
In-Text Citations
- In-text citations (e.g., (Darwin 226)) provide the source of borrowed information.
- The first element is usually the author's last name or title (for articles without authors).
- Page numbers are included for book sources, indicating the exact location.
- Example: (Darwin 226) links to an entry in the works cited page listing Darwin's work on page 226.
Bibliographic Citations
- Bibliographies list all sources cited in a text, appearing at the end.
- Entries are sorted alphabetically in the bibliography.
- The first information in a bibliographic entry corresponds to the in-text citation.
- Formats vary; examples include MLA and APA.
- MLA and APA formats often differ, particularly in date and author's initial use.
Importance of Citations
- Citations show information is not from the current author, but rather from another source (secondary).
- Accurate verification of borrowed information is critical.
- Citations help readers evaluate the source's reliability (accurate quotes, context, and appropriate generalization).
- Consulting the bibliography lets you find the original source (primary).
