• The format of the citation may change depending on the style you use (MLA, APA, etc.) and on the way you wave it into your writing.

• Examples:

• Young and Blair (1970) stated that the impact of pollution…..

• “The impact of pollution in different parts of the United States is serious” (Young & Blair, 1970)

• The pollution in our world is getting worse (Young & Blair, 1970)….

Eaton, 2013

In a nutshell!• Direct quotes – Use quotation marks and give credit to the source

(citation)

• Paraphrasing – Give credit to the source (citation)

• The only fragments of an assignment where you don’t use citations is in those sections of your own authorship!

• Always include a list of bibliography with all the references you have used in your assignment or paper!
