3. Here’s what the reader needs to know:
The title of the source: article/book/TV show/radio show The author of the source: the author of the quote or the writer of the source The relevance/credentials of the source: why should we care about this source or author? Why do they have the authority to comment on this topic? These are part of a successful signal phrase, an introduction that appears before a quote.

4. Signal Phrases
In his lecture, “You Can Quote Me on That,” English Teacher Mr. Page states, “if you ever start a quote without introducing it first, you’ll get an F in the class!!!” If your source has page number (like Freakonomics chapter 1), include that in your parenthetical citation after each quote: In the first chapter of Freakonomics, economists Levitt and Dubner claim “most incentives don’t come about organically” (17).

5. If you quote more than once from the same source, your subsequent signal phrases (the 2nd or 3rd, for example), can be drastically simplified and shortened. However, you always need some kind of signal phrase, even if it’s really short. 1st time: In the first chapter of Freakonomics, economists Levitt and Dubner claim “most incentives don’t come about organically” (17). 2nd time: in the same chapter the authors also argue “some cheating leaves barely a shadow of evidence” (21). 3rd time: Levitt and Dubner explain “media scrutiny…provides a powerful incentive” (39).
