When citing two or more sources in the same parentheses, separate each in-text citation with a semicolon. The order of
the sources (alphabetical, by date, by level of importance) is up to you.
Example: (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Everly and Lating 27; Shukman)
Include the quotation in the regular text of your paper. Be sure to use quotation marks and add an in-text citation with a
page number.
Example: For Charles Dickens, the eighteenth century was both "the best of times" and "the worst of times"
(35).
If a quote runs for four or more lines, treat it as a block quote. Start the block quote on its own line and indent the entire
quote 0.5” from the left margin, be sure that it is also double-spaced, with no extra spaces before or after it. Do not use
quotation marks for block quotes.
Use a parenthetical citation after the closing punctuation for the sentence or use the author in a narrative introduction
before the quote. If you choose to use a narrative introduction, be sure to include the page number of the quote after the
final punctuation.
Example 1:
Hanauer discusses the many ways in which the American education system has seemingly failed its people and
led to significant income inequality. He explains that the problem is far greater than just that of the
"skills gap"—the notion that decades of wage stagnation are largely a consequence of workers not
having the education and skills to fill new high-wage jobs. If we improve our public schools, the thinking
goes, and we increase the percentage of students attaining higher levels of education, particularly in the
STEM subjects—science, technology, engineering, and math—the skills gap will shrink, wages will rise,
and income inequality will fall. (20)
Example 2:
When people think of the word "pirate" today they probably conjure up images of shipwrecks on beaches,
cracked bottles of rum, perhaps of Johnny Depp. They also probably think that piracy on the ocean is a thing of
the past, however, piracy on the open seas, especially the Atlantic Ocean is still booming even today.
According to the Office of Naval Intelligence’s “Weekly Piracy Reports” 72 reported incidents of
piracy and armed robbery at sea occurred in the GoG region this year as of July 9, 2019. Attacks,
kidnappings for ransom (KFR), and boardings to steal valuables from the ships and crews are the most
common types of incidents with approximately 75 percent of all incidents taking place off Nigeria.
