ANY WORDS that aren’t your own have to be cited.

ANY NUMBER or statistic or photo/graphic must be immediately cited.

ANY TIME you use someone else’s thoughts and don’t cite them you are STEALING.

BASIC RULES:

1. DIRECT QUOTES: (words pulled exactly from another source)

“You would enrage a lifeless stone!” (Baxter 12).

2. DIRECT QUOTES WHERE THE AUTHOR IS MENTIONED IN TEXT:

Baxter translates, “You would enrage a lifeless stone!” (12).

3. PARAPHRASE: (take other people’s words and rearrange them. It’s still their IDEA, so you have to cite it.)

Oedipus was furious at the prophet’s refusal to answer (Baxter 12).

4. PARAPHRASE WHERE AUTHOR IS MENTIONED IN TEXT:

Baxter uses metaphor when referring to Teresias as a stone (12).

5.  USING NEW VOCABULARY

If in your research you run a cross terms you don’t know, define them the first time you use them in your paper, and cite it. After that, the word is yours.

          “Ethnocentrism,” the idea that a person’s worldview is centered on his or her own culture (Webster 180), is a stumbling block to world peace.

6. USING MORE THAN ONE WORK BY THE SAME AUTHOR

If you use two things by the same author in your paper, your citation has three things in it, author, abbreviated title and page number.

Rone Weasley shows a more obvious interest in Hermione as he get older (Rowling, Order 145).

7.  MULTIPLE CITATIONS BY ONE AUTHOR IN ONE PARAGRAPH

If you have more than one citation for one author in one paragraph, put the author last name in the first citation only, or, put it in the text in the topic sentence and never within a citation. The simply put the page number in the parenthesis. CAUTION!! If you have multiple authors cited in one paragraph, you MUST put each author every time.
