This week we will be addressing in-text citations. An in-text (parenthetical) citation is the term for citing material within the body of your paper. Whenever you summarize, paraphrase or quote another author's material you must include a citation (the author's last name and publication date) to tell the reader what information you have borrowed and from where. That citation tells the reader that the complete reference can be found at the end of your paper in the Reference list. 

 

• An example of a parenthetical reference:

A longstanding concern in the study of children's social and emotional development is the nature of the relationship between television violence and aggressive behavior (Simmons, Stalsworth, & Wentzel, 1999).

When you cite at the end of a sentence the reader knows that you have summarized or paraphrased ideas from an article or book by Simmons, Stalsworth, and Wentzel published in 1999 and that the full reference to that work can be found in the Reference list at the end of your paper.

 

• An example of a citation in-text:

Simmons, Stalsworth, and Wentzel (1999) claim a longstanding concern of children's social and emotional development is the nature of the relationship between television violence and aggressive behavior.

When you cite at the beginning of the sentence, you accomplish the same goal as previously stated, but do so using an arguably more effective technique. Please watch the following videos for explanations:
