  About Citing Sources

  For each type of source in this guide, both the general form and an example will be provided.

  The following format will be used:

  In-Text Citation (Paraphrase) - entry that appears in the body of your paper when you express the ideas of a researcher or author using your own words. For more tips on paraphrasing check out The OWL at Purdue.

  In-Text Citation (Quotation) - entry that appears in the body of your paper after a direct quote.

  References - entry that appears at the end of your paper.

  Information on citing and several of the examples were drawn from the APA Manual (7th ed.).

  Conference Sessions, Papers, and Posters

  Note: Conference sessions, papers, and posters all follow the same citation style. The only change is in the brackets following the title of the contribution, denoting the format. Use the description provided by the conference, e.g. [Poster presentation], [Key-note address], [Conference session], etc.

  In-Text Citation (Quotation):
