            CITATIONS
• Documentation is the information in the
  paper that tells what sources you used,
  and it also gives credit to the original
  source.
             Basic Citation
• Place the citation at the end of the
  sentence that contains the material you
  are documenting. The citation should
  appear after the last word of the
  sentence but before the end mark.
• Ex:The Oklahoma migrants found “not
  a Promised Land but a man-blighted
  Eden” (Crockett 195).
• Notice that the period (end mark) comes after
  the parentheses.
Citation with Author’s Name in Text

• If the name of the author is clear from
  the context in which the parenthetical
  citation appears, then give only the
  page number.
• Ex: As H. Kelly Crockett has pointed
  out, the Oklahoma migrants found “not
  a Promised Land but a man-blighted
  Eden” (195).
Citation of More than One Page
• When citing more than one page, use a
  hyphen to separate the numbers
  unless the pages are consecutive.
• Ex: French points out that “The Grapes
  of Wrath has been applauded
  throughout the world since its
  publication” (147-148).
              Works Cited
• Begin your Works Cited page on a separate
  page at the end of your research paper. It
  should have the same one-inch margins and
  last name, page number header as the rest
  of your paper.
• Label the page Works Cited (do not
  underline the words Works Cited or put them
  in quotation marks) and center the words
  Works Cited at the top of the page.
• Double space all citations, but do not skip
  spaces between entries.
• Alphabetize your entries.
                Header
• Excluding the Title Page, there will be
  a header in the upper right hand corner
  of each page. You will insert your last
  name and the page number.



• Ex.                        McCardle 2
