HIT 220

• In-text citations tell your audience briefly where you found your information and act as a pointer to the complete reference in your Works Cited page.
• In-text citations usually contain 3 parts: the author(s) last name(s), year of publication, and page number or page range (if applicable; for sources without page numbers, such as a webpage, use para. for paragraph number)

Examples: 

• Direct Quote- “The cognitive element, often referred to as worry, refers to negative catastrophic thoughts concerning failure, and its consequences; the affective-physiological element refers to feelings of tension and accompanying physiological manifestations of anxiety such as an increased heart-rate” (Putwain & Aveyard, 2018, p. 65).
• Direct Quote- According to the Minnesota State University Counseling Centre (2006), “if you are prone to test anxiety, an important step in overcoming it is to try and discover in what way you perceive the test as a threat to you” (para.11).
• Paraphrase- In regards to panic and generalized anxiety disorders, Townsend & Morgan (2017) name two theories of etiology: psychodynamic theory and cognitive theory (p. 45).
