In-text referencing when using direct quotes from a conference paper with more than three authors.

There are two options for in-text referencing:

1. Adding a citation at the end of a sentence.
2. Using the author’s name as part of your sentence.

Essential information to include:

• Family name of the first writer, followed by the words ‘et al’ (Latin for ‘and others’)
• No initials are required.
• The year of publication.
• Place a comma between the year and the page number.
• Write  the page number/s as p. 95 or pp. 95- 97.
• Leave a space between the p. and the number.
• Use ‘single’ inverted commas, to indicate the quotation.

Note:
It is essential to write exactly what is written in the quote.

The following sentences were taken from:

(a)  Bartlett et al. (2001, p. 71) stated that ‘the growing significance of international corporations and the search for optimal management practices within these organisations has resulted in major impacts to the field of human resource development(HRD)’.

or

(b)  ‘The growing significance of international corporations and the search for optimal management practices within these organisations has resulted in major impacts to the field of human resource development’ (Bartlett et al. 2001, p. 71). 

Note:

• the full stop is placed after the bracket when the citation is at the end of the sentences (See - Example b).
