What do I need to cite?

You need to cite EVERY piece of information that comes from a source. This includes direct quotations and paraphrases.

Here’s the rule: IF AN IDEA IS NOT YOUR OWN, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS WRITTEN IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE, YOU NEED TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE PERSON WHOSE IDEA IT IS.

What information do I need?

In order to fully cite a source, you generally need to indicate the name of the author or authors of the source, the source’s year of publication, and the page where you found the information in the

source

If you accessed a source electronically (from a website, database, etc.), you do NOT need to include a page number.

Where does the information go?

There are many different ways that you can include the information and many different places where you can place the information.

This is why it is important to use resources like Purdue OWL.

What is a signal phrase?

You need to introduce all quotations or paraphrases. Often, you will do this with a signal phrase that identifies the source the information comes from.

Example: Critser (2003) noted that despite growing numbers of

overweight Americans, many health care providers still “remain either in ignorance or outright denial about the health danger to the poor and the young” (p. 5). In this example, the author and year are included in the

signal phrase, so the only information need in parentheses is the page number.

Primate Research Center “has combined words into new sentences that she was never taught” (p. 67).

Please note The year of publication is in ( ) There is a “p.” before the page number The period goes at the end of the sentence, after the

parenthetical citation, not at the end of the quotation.

What if the information is paraphrased?

Do the same thing! If you name the source (author and year of

publication) in a signal phrase, you just need to include a page number in parentheses.

If you do not name the source in a signal phrase, you need to include author, year of publication, and page number in parentheses.
