How to Cite a Book with a Single Author

1. How to Cite a Book with a Single Author • Hormones such as oxytocin flood the brain when a person is experiencing the feeling of love • Heterosexual men’s brains are hard-wired to desire sex with multiple female partners, which tends to work against attempts to remain monogamous (Wolowitz 68)

2. How to Cite an Article or a Web Page with a Single Author • Social anxiety disorder may have both neurological and psychological root causes • Ingestion of alcohol can initially help ease social phobias, but used in excess it can worsen the symptoms (Koothrappali 3)

3. How to Cite an Article (or a Book or a Web Page) Written by Two Authors • Homosociality describes same-sex relationships that are not sexual in nature, but rather are based in friendship, mentorship, or others; a modern colloquial expression to convey this amongst men is a ‘bromance’ (Koothrappali and Wolowitz 2)

4. How to Cite an Article (or a Book or a Web Page) with Three Authors • Asperger’s is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported. An individual with Asperger’s may be an intellectual genius in a particular field yet have difficulty with social norms and communication (Hofstadter, Koothrappali, and Wolowitz 1)

5. How to Cite an Article (or a Book or a Web Page) with Four or More Authors • Group dynamics refers to a system of behaviors and psychological processes occurring within a social group (intragroup dynamics), or between social groups (intergroup dynamics). The study of group dynamics can be useful in understanding decision-making behavior, tracking the spread of diseases in society, creating effective therapy techniques, and following the emergence and popularity of new ideas and technologies(Hofstadter, Cooper, Koothrappali, and Wolowitz 4)

6. A Second (and Equally Acceptable) Way to Cite an Article (or a Book or a Web Page) with Four or More Authors • Group dynamics refers to a system of behaviors and psychological processes occurring within a social group (intragroup dynamics), or between social groups (intergroup dynamics). The study of group dynamics can be useful in understanding decision-making behavior, tracking the spread of diseases in society, creating effective therapy techniques, and following the emergence and popularity of new ideas and technologies(Hofstadter et al. 4)

7. How to Cite a Web Page (or Article) with a Title But No Author • A widely-held yet incorrect belief is that most human beings use only ten percent of the full potential capacity of their brains; in fact, most people use far more than ten percent of their brain-power at times, although no humans have yet been proven to be capable of tapping into the full potential (that is, use 100%) of their brains for any measurable period of time • (“The Brain’s Capacity Conundrum”)

8. Are you beginning to see a pattern here? You should. Because doing an in-text citation is really, really simple when you know the name of the author or authors. Whether you are citing a book, an article (print or electronic), a web page, or whatever, if you have the name of the author or the names of the authors, you just put the last name(s) of the author(s), and if you were quoting or paraphrasing from a specific page, the page number(s). That’s it! All that other information (title, publisher, year of publication, URL, whatever) just goes on your Works Cited page. But in terms of what you put as an in-text citation (at the end of a paragraph in a Word document, or at the bottom of a slide in a Powerpoint, or at the bottom of a screen on a PREZI), if you have the name of the author(s) that is all you need to put, plus--if applicable--a page number or page numbers. If you don’t have an author name, then you go to using the title (this applies to books, articles, web pages, etc.). THE ONLY TIME YOU EVER PUT JUST THE URL OF A WEB PAGE AS YOUR IN-TEXT CITATION IS WHEN THAT PAGE HAS NO AUTHOR, NO CORPORATE/INSTITUTIONAL AUTHOR OR INSTITUTIONAL SPONSOR (LIKE A UNIVERSITY), NO EDITOR, NO PUBLISHER, NO WEB MASTER, AND ALSO NO TITLE! You should try to avoid citing those kinds of web pages anyway, because they are generally not very credible/reliable sources of information.

9. How to Cite a Web Page with No Author (Individual, Corporate, or Institutional), No Sponsor, No Editor, No Publisher, No Web Master, and No Title (you should try to avoid citing sources like this anyway because generally they are not credible, reliable sources) • The potential complexities of the human brain rival those of the sub-atomic particles that make up all matter in the universe • (http://www.brain-science.com/neuromd)
