In-text Citations
ITC tells the reader EXACTLY where you found your information. ITC properly credits your use of another person’s ideas, words, etc.
For THIS project ITC is required for:
quoted materials in your text (your written paper and your presentation) 🠞 limited to 2 quotes!
images in your presentation (see example below)

ITC:
Leads the reader to a corresponding “Works Cited” entry. They always come in a pair:
source used for paper = source listed in Works Cited
source listed in Works Cited = source used in paper
Format (Indicator Word + page #):
Includes the "indicator word" of the WC citation
usually the author’s last name but can be the 1st word of citation
this word will lead your reader to the FULL citation in the Works Cited page
Followed by the page number IF used in original source...
books/eBooks need page numbers,
Web sites & most database articles do NOT need page numbers
Use same formatting (italics, quotation marks) that you used in Works Cited
(Indicator word + p#)
(Smith 21) or (“Poets” 15) or (World 1523) or ("Monument")
Indicator word:
More than 1 author? Use all:
(Smith and Jones 12); (Stern et al. 132) for 3+ authors
Same author for 2 sources? Use last name + beginning of article/book title; use enough of the title to differentiate.
(Smith, "Emily" 216); (Smith, "Poets" 11)
(Jones, "European Authors" 217); (Jones, "European Women" 78)
NO author/SAME article title for 2 sources? Use 1st word of article title + beginning of article/book title; use enough of the title to differentiate.
("Emily," Poets); ("Emily," English)
("European," Gale 217); ("European," Encyclopedia78)
