Citations are when you tell the reader, in your text, where you got your information.. You can build into your sentence structure or add in parentheses at end of sentence.. Do these as you draft your paper. It will take you forever to go back and find your sources later!. When you revise, use different strategies and sentence structures so you don't sound repetitive.

Example Block Quotes It is not until near the end of The Hound of the Baskervilles that the hound itself is actually seen: A hound it was, an enormous coal black hound, but not such a hound as mortal eyes have ever seen. Fire burst from its open mouth, its eyes glowed with a smouldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame. Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that dark form and savage face which broke upon us out of the wall of fog. (Doyle )
