Should have more

in-text citations than

direct quotations

How often should I cite my sources?

When in doubt, every 2-3 sentences

General or common knowledge

does not require citation

Anything you can find in the dictionary or encyclopedia is common knowledge

All language taken directly from another source MUST be placed inside quotation marks

Too many direct quotations is like a speed bump in your writing

Use them only when the original language cannot be reworded without loss of meaning

Use blocked quotations VERY sparingly

No more than 2

Paraphrase whenever possible

In-text citations

“And so he sounded very intelligent” (Smith 1999).

The truth is that the novel is a genre which resists exact definition. This in itself is not particularly striking, since many things—‘game’, for example, or ‘hairy’—resist exact definition. It is hard to say how ape-like you have to be in order to qualify as hairy. The point about the novel, however, is not just that it eludes definitions, but that it actively undermines them. It is less a genre than an anti-genre. It cannibalizes other literary modes and mixes the bits and pieces promiscuously together. You can find poetry and dramatic dialogue in the novel, along with epic, pastoral, satire, history, elegy, tragedy and any number of other literary modes. (Eagleton 2005)

Commas should always go inside quotation marks and double quotation marks should always be used, except for quotations within quotations.

The Reference List

Begins on a new page at the end of the body of the paper

Each entry in the reference list corresponds to a citation included in the paper

This is what distinguishes a reference list from a bibliography

Article titles aren’t enclosed in quotation marks

Titles of articles, books, chapters, essays, and articles are capitalized sentence-style, meaning only the first word of the title (and subtitle) is capitalized

Only newspaper, journal, and magazine titles should be capitalized headline-style

The date of publication should appear immediately after the author’s name

Eagleton, Terry. 2005. The English novel: An introduction. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing

Vickery, Amanda. 1999. From golden age to separate spheres? History Workshop Journal 55, 44-70

Allison, G. W. 1999. The implications of experimental design for biodiversity manipulations. American Naturalist 153 (1): 26-45.

Reference lists should be alphabetized

Second (and third or fourth) line(s) of entries should be indented

Entries for books with more than one author should only reverse the first author’s name and the other names should be in conventional order
