In-text referencing when using direct quotes from an electronic newspaper article, without a named author, from a database.

There are two options for in-text referencing:

1. Adding a citation at the end of a sentence.
2. Using the newspaper name, date, month, year, page number, date viewed and database as part of your sentence.

Essential information to include:

• If a newspaper article does not have an author, then provide details as an in-text citation only, NOT in the reference list.
• Name of newspaper - in italics.
• (Date Month Year, Page) in brackets.
• date viewed.
• database.
• 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.

Remember:
If a newspaper article does not have an author, then provide details as an in-text citation only, NOT in the reference list.
