Putting Together Your Citations

Citations provide the information necessary for readers to identify and retrieve each source you use. When you use someone else's words or ideas in your papers, you should create In-text citations (within the paper) and References list citations (at the end of the paper). Each In-text citation should lead to a References list citation, and each References list citation should come from an In-text citation.

Follow Dr. Patel's citation templates when you're putting together your citations:

Journal Article In-Text Citation (One Author): (Author last name, Year, Page numbers)

Journal Article In-Text Citation (Up to Three Authors): (Author last name, Author last name, &  Author last name, Year, Page  numbers)
