Textual+Quotations

TEXTUAL CITATIONS When writing an essay, it is sometimes necessary to make a reference within your text to a specific author and work. This is called reference or citation; it is a specific way of showing at each point where your information or quotation has come from. Here are some conventions under the APA style of citation for linking specific research material to a listed bibliographical entry.

__A sample textual citation:__ - When the author’s name is not mentioned in the sentence, 3 items should be enclosed in brackets: 1. Author’s surname (no initials) 2. Year of publication (if a book) 3. Page number/s (Brooks, 1974, p.34) (surname comma space year of publication comma space page number) - When the author’s name has already been included in the sentence, there is no need to do that again. Therefore, you would just need to give the year of publication as well as the page numbers. 2. Year of publication (if a book) 3. Page number/s According to Brooks (1974, p.34) Surname mentioned in sentence (year of publication comma space page number)
