33. Documentation: Citing Sources Parenthetical documentation References

34. Parenthetical Documentation Authors name in the sentence Authors name in the reference Citing an entire work Citing part of an article or of a book Citing volume and page numbers of a multivolume work Citing volume and page numbers of a multivolume work Citing a work listed by title Citing two or more works by the same author

35. Authors Name in the Sentence Magny (2003) develops this argument. Others, like Walters and Edwards (2010), hold the opposite point of view. It may be true, as Smith (2009) maintains, that media and the military cultures are clashing (p. 264). Note: First two examples are summary statements and the third is a direct quote therefore a page number is needed.

36. Authors Name in the Reference Others have argued this point (e.g. Kerrigan and Smith, 2010). Only one scholar has observed this relation (Cooper, 2010).

37. Citing an Entire Work Davis Gardening Secrets (2010) include many vegetables and flower growing tips. Malone and Turner (2010) broke new ground on the subject. Fryar et al. (2010) have provided a useful guide to 2010 tax laws.

38. Citing Part of An Article or of A Book One author presents several opinions on factors that cause police brutality (Cothran, 2010, Chapter 3). The Iraq War was the first war in which television reporting was real-time, hence called War: Live in Iraq (Smith, 2010, pp. 59-78).

39. Citing Volume and Page #s of a Multivolume Work Fallek and Solie-Johnson (2008) state pitfalls are only something to worry about if you dont know where they are (2: 757). In the election of 2000, the ballot counting system in the United States underwent intense scrutiny (Schlesinger, 2008, Vol. 4, p. 98).

40. Citing a Work Listed by Title A New York Times editorial called Ralph Ellison a writer of universal reach (Death, 2010). Paul Cézanne, a founder of impressionism was born and raised in Aux-en-Provence (European Artists, 2010, p. 70).

41. Two or More Works by the Same Author or Authors The global impact of the First World War dominated the history of the first half of the twentieth century (Stevenson, Armaments, p. 29). The First World War began over a local war, launched by the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary against Serbia...The Austro-Serb conflict was triggered by the murders of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, on 27 June 1914 (Stevenson, The Outbreak, p.2).

42. REFERENCES Draft this section first so that you will know what information to give in parenthetical references as you write. The list of references appears at the end of the paper. If your paper ends in page 14, the References page is 15. ½ header should be aligned left with title of paper in all caps and page # aligned right. Center the title, References, an inch from the top of the page. Double-space between the title and the first entry. Begin each entry flush with the left margin, indent subsequent lines five spaces. Double-space the entire list, both between and within entries. Alphabetize by the authors (or editors) last name or by title if no author.
