3. Using an In-text Citation
This source citation is used within your research paper & identifies where you used a source.
Place in-text-citation:
at the end of a sentence that contains “borrowed” info (you can cite multiple sources throughout a paragraph as needed to support your claim)
or below an image, chart, graph, etc
or at the end of a paragraph, if you borrowed info from only one source for that paragraph
You are required to have at least 10 in-text citations (also called parenthetical references)
Tedtalks, interviews, articles, The Circle, images, websites, editorials, lectures, movie clips, graphs, charts, etc.,all count as sources.

4. Formatting an In-Text Citation
At the end of the sentence/paragraph – before you use final punctuation, use an open parenthesis ( source author name, or source article name, or source title) and end with a closing parenthesis.
Use end punctuation outside of closing parenthesis.
For example,
Edinburgh, Scotland served as J.K. Rowling’s inspiration for Hogwarts Academy, Harry Potter’s mythical school of wizardry. A recent article in The Washington Post’s Travel section quotes Rowling on her attachment, “Edinburgh is very much a home for me and is the place where Harry evolved over seven books and many, many hours of writing in its cafes” (Shroder).
Notice the end punctuation comes AFTER the closing parenthesis even though the original sentence in the article had the sentence period inside of the quotation marks.

5. Insides the Parentheses of an In-text Citation
For book, use author last name and page number (Rowling 275) – no commas, no p.
For web sources:
If author avail, use author last name
If no author avail but article name avail, use article name (“Edinburgh: Magical even for Muggles”) – notice article titles are enclosed in quotation marks
If no article title, use website name (Washingtonpost.com) Notice the italics for this large work. Also do not use within the parentheses.

6. Annotated Bibliographies vs. Works Cited Pages

7. Transitioning from Annotated Bibliography to Works Cited
Create a separate, new page at the very end of your paper
Center the title Works Cited – no underline, no bold font, no italics
Copy your annotated bibliography document onto the Works Cited page
Remove sources you did NOT use in your paper & add in new sources
Remove all annotation paragraphs
Remove bold font from source citations
Cross check all in-text citations & make sure there is a corresponding source citation listed on Works Cited for each in-text citation in paper
Organize all source citations in alphabetical order – preferably by author last name, if available
Imbed hanging indents for all subsequent lines of each source citation – this format enables the reader to understand where one source ends and the next source begins
Do not number or bullet your source citations on Works Cited
