Intext Notes or Parenthetical Documentation

1. Basic form: Identify author or title and the page number in parentheses, followed by a period. Allow one space before the parentheses, and two between the author and page number.

Examples: Those in the first category comprise only 1/5 to 1/3 of the reports and questionnaires

about citizens generated by the government (Miller 59). or (Uncle Sam 7).

2. Author or title identified in the text: Put only the page number(s) in parentheses close to the author's name or the title, or at the end of the sentence.

Examples: Sherick points out (53-54) that there is a government file on you if you have ever worked

for a federal agency or a government contractor . . .

3. More than one work by an author used: Use either the author or the title as part of the text wording and the remaining information within the parentheses. Use a shortened form of the title, if the full one is long,

Example: Professor Alan Westin echoes that idea when he says privacy is " The claim of individuals

. . . to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent information about them is communicated to others," (Privacy and Freedom 16).

4. More than one author: Use the last names of authors only. If there are two or three authors, include each; if there are more than three authors, show the name of the first one that ap-pears on the publication and use the abbreviation "et al." to show that there are others.

Examples: Also among computer records were 5.4 million dossiers on people who got FHA loans

(LeMond, Thomas and Fry 139).or

Also among computer records were 5.4 million dossiers on people who got FHA loans (LeMond et al. 155). [for authors: LeMond, Thomas, Fry, and Johnson]

5. One work quoted within another work: Include the name of the original source in the text of your paper. Then show that the material is quoted by using the abbreviation " qtd. in " but documenting by author or title the place where you found the quote.

Example: Miller said, " This will be true despite the softness or imprecision of much of the data, "

(qtd. in Hoffman 23).

6. Source with no page numbers: Online sources do not have page numbers. Only include the author or title in the parenthesis.

Example:Also among computer records were 5.4 million dossiers on people who got FHA

loans (Computer Records Show Results).

The Works Cited Page

1. Start the lists of Works Cited on a new page.

2. Center the heading Works Cited one inch down from the top of the page. All margins are one inch.

3. Double-space everything, between the heading and the first entry, as well as between lines of each entry and between items on your list.

4. Use hanging indention. (Like this handout.) That is, begin each entry at the left margin. However, if you need more than one line to give all of the necessary information, indent subsequent lines five spaces from the left margin.

5. Entries are listed alphabetically according to the last name of the author (or the first author given if there are more than one). If there is no author, use the title (not counting A, An, or The).

6. Type the complete works cited entry for each source used. Follow the forms from the handouts on works cited styles or your source cards if you did them correctly.

7. If there are more than one entry by the same author, use the name only for the first entry. Substitute three hyphens (- - -) in place of the name for subse-quent works by that person.

8. Remember to italicize the names of books and the names of magazines, and put “quote marks” around magazine or newspaper articles.

9. Do not list the page numbers on books. Page numbers should only be used for magazine articles.

10. The Bible and the names of books within it are not italicized.

11. Months in periodicals are abbreviated, except May, June and July.

12. NEVER NUMBER THE ENTRIES ON THE WORKS CITED PAGE!

13. Punctuation and spacing are very important within each entry, so follow the handouts carefully.
