In-Text Citations

  • Parenthetical citations involve short quotes or paraphrases with author/date in parentheses.
  • Narrative citations incorporate the author’s name into the text followed by the date in parentheses.

Paraphrasing vs. Direct Quotations

  • Paraphrasing: Rephrasing ideas in your own words; must reflect original ideas while being completely restructured.
  • Direct Quotations: Using the exact wording from a source, best when the original is significant or uniquely phrased.
  • Excessive reliance on quotations may indicate a lack of original thought; balance is key.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

  • Academic integrity encompasses ethical writing practices, which are essential in avoiding plagiarism.
  • Self-plagiarism occurs when previously submitted work is reused; it's crucial to discuss with instructors before adapting previous papers.

Importance of Writing Ethically

Citing Sources

  • Employ double-spacing and hanging indentations for reference entries, as per APA formatting standards.
