How to Cite References Correctly
Within your response/with your paper:
Quotations: When a direct quotation is used, always include the author, year, and page number as part of citation
A. A quotation of fewer than 40 words should be enclosed in double quotation marks and should be incorporated into the formal structure of a sentence. Example:
Patients receiving prayer had �less congestive heart failure, required less diuretic and antibiotic therapy, had fewer episodes of pneumonia, had fewer cardiac arrests, and were less intubated and ventilated� (Byrd, 1988, p. 829)
B. A lengthier quotation of 40 words or more should appear (without quotation marks) apart from the surrounding text, in block format, with each line indented five spaces from the left margin.
At the end of the question/paper:
References: All sources included in the references section must be cited in the body of the paper (and all sources cited in the paper must be included in the References section).
A. Pagination: The References section begins on a new page.
B. Heading: References (centered on the first line below the manuscript page header)
C. Format: The References (with hanging indent) begin on the line following the References heading. Entries are entered alphabetically by surnames of first authors. Most reference entries have three components:
I. Authors: Authors are listed in the same order as specified in the source, using surnames and initials. Commas separate all authors. When there are seven or more authors, list the first six and then use the �et. al.� for remaining authors. If no author is identified, the title of the document begins the Reference.
II. Year of Publication: In parentheses following authors, with a period following the closing parentheses. If no publication date is identified, use �n.d.� in parentheses following the authors.
III. Source Reference: Includes title, journal, volume, pages (for journal article) or title, city of publication, publisher (for book). Italicize titles of books, titles of periodicals, and periodical volume numbers.
