I. Citing in Your Paper
1. Cite entire works within your paper with parenthetical author-date references. That is, put the author’s last name and the date in parentheses.
The reference can come at the end of a sentence:
Also, cluster solutions that added less than 5% to the explained variation were eliminated from consideration (Onwuegbuzie, 2003).
Follow this method even if an article has more than one author:
Specifically, aggressive children are more likely than their nonaggressive peers to externalize blame in provocative social interactions (Dodge & Coie, 1987).
You can put your reference in the middle of your sentence:
More specifically, Cornell (1987) found that the best single predictor of violence is past violent behavior.
Finally, you can have multiple references in one set of parentheses:
This methodological flaw may have culminated in the difficulties that investigators have experienced in predicting violent acts (Capaldi & Patterson, 1993; Cornell, 1987; Schlesinger, 1983).
2. If you are using direct quotations with quotation marks then use author-date-page number references:
Corporal punishment is defined as “the use of physical force with the intention of causing a child to experience pain but not injury for the purposes of correction or control of the child's behavior” (Straus, 1994, p. 4).
3. For sequential citations, repeat only the author’s or authors’ names:
These factors, or latent constructs, represented metathemes (Onwuegbuzie, 2003) each of which contained one or more of the emergent themes. The trace, or proportion of variance explained by each factor after rotation, served as a latent effect size for each metatheme (Onwuegbuzie).
4. If a source does not have an author then list its title instead. If the title is long abbreviate it so readers can identify it in your list of References. Place quotation marks around the title only in the parenthetical reference:
No report of the 1930 meeting was published, but a 21-page report of the 1931 meeting appeared in the Psychological Bulletin, marking the first published report of the branch in 10 years (“Proceedings of the New York Branch,” 1931).
