In-text referencing when paraphrasing a pdf document from a website where the name of the author is given.

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 for in-text referencing:

• No initials.
• The year of publication.
