In-Text (Parenthetical) Citations

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR COMMON SOURCES:

Book - (Author Last Name, Page #)

Website - (Author Last Name)

Website with no Author - (Webpage Title)

MORE IN DEPTH INFO IF NEEDED:

With more and more scholarly work being posted on the Internet, you may have to cite research you have completed in virtual environments. While many sources on the Internet should not be used for scholarly work (reference the OWL's Evaluating Sources of Information resource), some Web sources are perfectly acceptable for research. When creating in-text citations for electronic, film, or Internet sources, remember that your citation must reference the source in your Works Cited.

Sometimes writers are confused with how to craft parenthetical citations for electronic sources because of the absence of page numbers. For electronic and Internet sources, follow the following guidelines:

Include in the text the first item that appears in the Work Cited entry that corresponds to the citation (e.g. author name, article name, website name, film name).

You do not need to give paragraph numbers or page numbers based on your Web browser’s print preview function.

Do not include URLs in-text. Only provide partial URLs such as when the name of the site includes, for example, a domain name, like CNN.com or Forbes.com as opposed to writing out http://www.cnn.com or http://www.forbes.com.

Example:

When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name. Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (such as an article) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire Web sites) and provide a page number.

We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . ." ("Impact of Global Warming").

In this example, since the reader does not know the author of the article, an abbreviated title of the article appears in the parenthetical citation which corresponds to the full name of the article which appears first at the left-hand margin of its respective entry in the Works Cited. Thus, the writer includes the title in quotation marks as the signal phrase in the parenthetical citation in order to lead the reader directly to the source on the Works Cited page. The Works Cited entry appears as follows:

"The Impact of Global Warming in North America." Global Warming:

      Early Signs. 1999. http://www.climatehotmap.org/. Accessed 23
      Mar. 2009.

Process Writing Revisons

If you earn an 'A', you are done for that paper assignment.

If you receive an 'R' I expect you to immediately begin to revise your paper and make the corrections I have given you. All of my revision comments can be seen on Google Classroom. All revisions must be turned in two weeks before the end of each quarter. No revisions will be accepted by your teacher after that date. 

To do this:

- You will print out your original submission.

- Make corrections on a new copy of your paper.

- Highlight all changes that have been made on the updated copy, print it out, and staple it on top of your original submission.
- Fill out the Process Writing Revision Submission Form (this goes on top).

- These will be turned in hard copy.

- For each additional revision you have to make, you will need to print out a new copy with updated and highlighted changes and staple it to your previous copies. Do NOT assume that your paper will only need one revision. Papers often need multiple drafts, which is why you are given so much time to correct them. 

- The first copy of your revision must be turned in along with the Process Writing Revision Submission Form, you do not need to fill out additional submission forms for further revision submissions, just for the first one.

They will be turned in stapled in this order:
- Original submission on the bottom
- Highlighted corrected version in the middle
- Revision Submission Form on the top

If you do not have all drafts, or do not highlight your changes, or are missing your Revision Submission Form, your paper will not be graded and will remain an 'R' 75% until you resubmit correctly.
