Remember… • EVERY source in your Works Cited MUST correspond to a parenthetical citation in your essay or report. • Every parenthetical citation MUST correspond to a source in your Works Cited.
To reference or not to reference… • Reference quotations, paraphrases, summaries, ideas, and facts and figures (unless commonly known). • Is it a statement that would be regarded as common knowledge? Don’t reference it. • Caution – defining “common knowledge” can be tricky as it depends on your audience. • Not sure? Reference it. • Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
Parenthetical Citations: Why? • used instead of footnotes or endnotes • serve the same purpose: tell reader what material is borrowed and from where • refer reader to Works Cited for complete information
Parenthetical Citations: How? • embedded in essay or report • place parentheses (…) at end of borrowed material • can be in middle of sentence • can have multiple references in same sentence • reference is BEFORE closing punctuation • include author(s)’ last name(s), title (can be abbreviated), page number • e.g. (Doe, School Library 10) in text refers to Doe, Jane.
