TIE-ing in Quotations Integrating quotations smoothly into your writing

THE ESSENTIALS • Citation: You must give credit for anything you take from the text: Zaroff states that the ideal quarry “must possess courage, cunning, and above all, it must have reason” (Connell 18). Writer’s Last Name Page Number Punctuation after citation

IN-TEXT CITATION In-text citations: Author-page style • MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.

Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).

IN-TEXT CITATION In-text citations for print sources with no known author • 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 if it is available. For Example: 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").
