ACADEMIC WRITING

In general, it is a
reference to a published
or unpublished source
(not always the original
source).
ACADEMIC WRITING

Specifically, an abbreviated
alphanumeric expression embedded
in the body of an intellectual work that
denotes an entry in the bibliographic
references section of the work for the
purpose of acknowledging the
relevance of the works of others to the
topic of discussion at the spot where
the citation appears.

Direct citations are


those that include the
surname of the author
as part of the text of
the sentence and the
date within
parentheses.

Indirect citations give both the surname and the date


parenthetically. Indirect citations help maintain the
"flow" of the writing because people are very good at
reading around parenthetical information.

information about DIRECT vs
INDIRECT CITATION is provided

The Modern Language Association uses


parenthetical references instead of
footnotes or endnotes in the body of the
research paper to acknowledge the use of
borrowed material. These references point
to the Works Cited page (see examples of
entries
above)
at the end to fully
ACADEMIC
WRITING
document this material with necessary
author, title, and publishing information.

PLACEMENT AND PUNCTUATION GUIDELINES


1. Keep the parenthetical references as brief
as possible. Do this by inserting the
authors last name and a page number in
parentheses after the statement you are
documenting:
ACADEMIC WRITING
A large percentage of the suicides in this
category are centered in the New York City
area (Hyde 126).

PLACEMENT AND PUNCTUATION GUIDELINES


2. If you include the authors name in a
sentence, you need only put the page number
of the reference in the parentheses:
Hyde notes that a large percentage of the
ACADEMIC WRITING
suicides in this category are centered in the
New York City area (126).

PLACEMENT AND PUNCTUATION GUIDELINES


3. If you are citing an entire work rather than
a specific passage or section, omit any
parenthetical reference and give the authors
last name in your sentence:
ACADEMIC WRITING
Throughout her book, Hyde argues that
suicide among the young constitutes a
national epidemic.

EXAMPLES OF PARENTHETICAL REFERENCES


1. A work by an author of two or more works
you are using
Use last name, comma, short title and
relevant page numbers:

another author in your list of Works Cited.

than the page number to locate the passage
cited. After page number, add a semicolon and
