Quoting & citing If you use someone else’s words in your
paper, put them in quotation marks and give author, publication, and page information:
Using technology does have its drawbacks, however. “Since no more than a fixed number of lines of text are visible on a computer screen, you may find it difficult to get a sense of your whole project” (Gibaldi, 2004, p. 59).
Another way If you mention the author’s name in your text,
you don’t have to put it in the citation, but you do need to include the other material in parentheses:
As Gibaldi (2004) points out, using technology does have its drawbacks. “Since no more than a fixed number of lines of text are visible on a computer screen, you may find it difficult to get a sense of your whole project” (p. 59).
