Web. 10 Mar Parenthetical (In-Text) Citation The list of works cited at the end of your research paper plays an important role in your acknowledgment of sourcesbut the list does not in itself provide sufficiently detailed and precise documentation. You must indicate to your readers not only what works you used in writing the paper but also what you derived from each source and where in the work you found the material. The most practical way to supply this information is to insert a brief parenthetical acknowledgment in your paper wherever you incorporate another s words, facts, or ideas. Usually the author s last name and a page reference are enough to identify the source and the specific location from which you borrowed material. Use only the author s last name if there is no page reference. If there is no author, use the first word or two of the source as it appears in the Works Cited. With a page number Medieval Europe was a place both of raids, pillages, slavery, and extortion and of traveling merchants, monetary exchange, towns if not cities, and active markets in grain (Townsend 10). The parenthetical reference (Townsend 10) indicates that the quotations come from page 10 of a work by Townsend. Given the author s last name, your readers can find complete publication information for the source in the alphabetically arranged list of works cited that follows the text of your paper.

Questions About Reporter s Rescue in Afghanistan. Time. Time, 9 Sep Web. 10 Sep (Works Cited entry) General Tips List of Works Cited Formatting - Tips and Hints Use a separate page and use a 12 font for both the title and the list The title should be Works Cited and it should be centred The entire list should be double spaced The list should be alphabetical by the first word in each entry (excluding a and the). Sources should not be numbered. Use a hanging indention format. The first line of the entry should start at the left margin and continue until you run out of space on the line. All subsequent lines should be indented ½ inch (use the tab button on your computer or 5 spaces). Follow the examples carefully to ensure that you use italics, quotation marks and other punctuation properly. If you choose to use formatting obtained from a database like EBSCO or a program such as Landmark Citation or Noodletools to help you create your list, be sure to check for format and punctuation errors. Make sure that the source you use is based on the 7 th edition of MLA.
