  3. Type #1: in-text Citation • In-Text: mentions original source while you are writing, it also helps reader find the full citation on the reference page • NEED: AUTHOR’S LAST NAME(S) (no first name or initial) and YEAR • Example: • STRONGEST: In “Birth Order and Adult Personality,”Elaine Harper (2001) writes that later-born children are more likely to pursue nontraditional careers. • Harper(2001) states that that later-born children are more likely to pursue nontraditional careers. • Later-born children are more likely to pursue nontraditional careers (Harper, 2001), therefore it would not be strange is an oldest child were to breed and sell exotic reptiles. • When there are more and one author, separate last names with commas and an ampersand (&) between the last two names • (Wakai & Liu, 2013) • (Chen, Kao, Huang & Cheng, 2013)
