In-text referencing when using direct quotes from a newspaper article with an 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 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.
