  1. In- Text Citations In-text citations are used (like they sound) within the text, or the writing, of a paper. They show which particular facts came from which source (Holloway).

  2. Writing your Paper:What do you need to Cite? • All Statistics • All “Direct Quotes”- When you are using someone else’s words without changing them • Any information that is Not Common Knowledge Common knowledge is defined as information you found in more than 3 sources.

  3. How to do Properly Cite your Information?Use Parenthetical or In-text Documentation • If there is an author you do this by listing the author’s name in parenthesis after the sentence in which the information was found. • If no author is given, you give the first few words of the title of the article. Basically, you put in parenthesis the words that match the first words of your entry on the Works Cited page.

  6. Sample: StatisticSummarizing in your own words statistics or facts By one United Nations estimate, about 40 percent of the world’s population — 2.6 billion people — does not have access to a toilet. Open defecation leads to contaminated water and diarrhea. About 1.5 million children die of diarrhea every year (Fox).

  7. Sample- A paraphrased OpinionSomeone’s exact words “The secret of the PeePoo lies with the urea coating on the inside of the bag. Once its filled and buried, enzymes in feces naturally breakdown the urea into ammonia and carbonate. This raises the pH in the bag, killing any pathogens” (The PeePoo, a Biodegradable).
