I'm going to add two clarifying points to help any students reviewing this video (I am a professor of English). 1) The video puts emphasis on citing direct quotes and makes only a passing remark that you also need to cite in text when you refer to other works. I'm afraid that could mislead people to think they need to cite in text only when they quote a work. That is untrue. So, any use of a source for an opinion, argument, line of reasoning, or even an fact (that is not common knowledge) must be cited in text and in Works Cited. This is true even if you use your own words to paraphrase or summarize the author. If you do not cite properly, you commit plagiarism. Plus, citing in text makes your paper stronger since it shows you have researched the issue and are knowledgeable.
2) The video mentions that once you have introduced a work, you need only cite by page number. But, you still need signal phrases in text to show which source you are citing when you have multiple sources. Even if you were using only one source throughout, you would want to use signal phrases rather than just a parenthetical citation to emphasize that these ideas are those of another. If you are just citing a fact drawn from a source, you might not use a signal phrase, but where you are including a line of reasoning, argument, opinion, etc., you would definitely want to.
Thank you
Do you understand how to cite something already quoted but withought citation . Example
He dismissed them with one motion. “Not one man should hold that much power” said police Lenox.
Lenox meant,
“Not one Black Man should that much power”
How would I cite “Not one Black Muslim should that much power” if I have no knowledge of where the original statement came from besides the speaker. In this case it was Malcom X. but I do not have a time stamp of when those words were spoke besides the fact it was in Harlem.
Do you have to include EVERY single page number where the information appears?
What if there’s no version? And it’s just a website ? Do I have to include a version/edition. And also, is there always a publisher for every website? I know there’s always an author, but what if there’s no publisher (like CNN or New York Times ,etc?
Great job!
How to add subtitles in work citation?
Thank you!
this is very helpful, thanks!
if we found the article online that not provided in printed version, how to write the url?
Copy and paste the url
Usually it will still have a volume/issue number and a digital object identifier (DOI) - you can just skip the page number range and include whatever information is available.
