IN-TEXT CITATIONS Whenever you use information from another
source, you must cite it in your writing or it is considered plagiarism.
This includes quotations or paraphrasing.
This in-text citation is a signal word or phrase that corresponds to the first thing that appears in the MLA citation.
(Author’s Last Name Page #) Example: (Wiesel 33)
(“Article Title in quotation marks”) Example: (“Asia’s Missing Girls”)
IN-TEXT CITATIONS This can be done in the sentence.
If you use the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need a “parenthetical” citation.Elie Wiesel explains, “he does not want
his past to become their future” (3).“Asia’s Missing Girls” reveals the
gender imbalance due to the one-child policy (2).
If your source references a page number, it must always appear in parentheses.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS Parenthetical Citation: This in-
text citation is in parentheses.He writes his memoir because “he does
not want his past to become their future” (Wiesel 3).
