In-text referencing when using direct quotes from an article or a chapter written by one author in an edited book with two or three editors.

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:

• The family name of the author.
• 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 have been taken from:

Thompson, G 2000 'Where do multinationals conduct their business activity and what are the consequences for national systems?', in S Quack, G Morgan & R Whitley, (eds), National capitalism, global competition and economic performance, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Amsterdam/Philadelphia, pp. 191 - 212.

(a) Thompson (2000, p. 203)  offers the opinion that ‘the issue of innovation and the role of technology is another dimension along which the process of company internationalisation is often thought to be rapidly proceeding and which is used to bolster the argument about the globalisation of company activity’.

or

(b) ‘The issue of innovation and the role of technology is another dimension along which the process of company internationalisation is often thought to be rapidly proceeding and which is used to bolster the argument about the globalisation of company activity’ (Thompson 2000, p. 203).

Note:

• The full stop is placed after the bracket (See - Example b).
• Cite the author(s) who wrote the article/chapter, not the editors of the book.

If the article/chapter was written by one writer the in-text citation will be:

or

'......’ (Seymour 2005, p. 248).

If the article/chapter was written by more than three writers the in-text citation will be:

Morgenstern et al. (2005, p. 150) suggest that ‘……..’.

or

'......' ( Morgenstern et al. 2005, p. 150).
