Trains were once popular modes of transportation (White 8). If you mention the authors last name in the sentence, give only the page number in parentheses. According to Larry White, trains were once popular modes of transportation (8). Work by More than One Author Give the authors last names in the same order as stated on the Works Cited page and the page number in parentheses: (Jones and Miller 639). If a source has more than three authors, give the first authors last name follow by et al. and the page number: (Jones et al. 88) Work with No Author Given Give the title (or a shortened version of it) and the page number: (Railroads 11) One of Two or More Works by the Same Author Give the authors last name, the title or a shortened version of it, and the page number: (Reese, Planes 25) Corporate Author If a book or other work was written by a committee or task force, it is said to have a corporate author. If the corporate name is long, include it in the text (rather than in parentheses) to avoid disrupting the flow of writing. Use a shortened form of the name in the text and in references after the full name has been used at least once. Example: Use Education Committee in place of Education Committee Task Force for Secondary Rural Schools after the full name has been used at least once. The finding of the Education Committee's report proves that students in rural school have fewer cases of violence than inner city schools. Indirect or Secondary Sources When citing an indirect source (someone's remarks published in a second source) use the abbreviation qtd. in (quoted in) before the indirect source. Shakespeare was an economic backer for the Globe Theatre "which was burned to the ground after a performance" (qtd. in Smith 97). Cite verse, plays, and poems by division--act, scene, canto, book, part--and line, using Arabic numerals for the divisions unless otherwise instructed. Use periods to separate the various numbers. If citing lines only, use the word line or lines in the first reference and numbers in additional references. In the second act of the play, Sammy says, "I dont care Why should you?" (2.3.144-45). Citing Poetry A diagonal line is used to show each new line of verse. Verse quotations of more than three lines should be indented one inch (ten spaces) and double-spaced. Each line of the poem or play begins a new line of the quotation; do not run the lines together. William Beauchamps poem "The Ocean" contains layer upon layer of specific details: The Ocean was blue beyond the horizon. Only we could not see The bright orange sun,. . . (12-13) Literary Works: Prose To site prose (novels, short stories, etc.), list more than the page number of the work available in several editions. Give the page reference first, and then add a chapter, section, or book number in abbreviated form after a semicolon. In The Car Wreck, Juan Carlos describes the emotional trauma of the incident as "no squealing of tires, only gnashing metal penetrated the lives of the two young women" (23; ch. 3). When quoting prose that takes more than four typed lines, indent each line of the quotation one inch (10 spaces) and double space it. In this case, put the parenthetical citation outside the end punctuation mark of the quotation itself. Two or More Works Cited at the Same Place Use a semicolon to separate the entries: (Morris et al. 89; Riley) Electronic Sources Give the authors last name, or if no author is named, give the title: ("Ocean Storms") Definition of Plagiarism Plagiarism is the presentation of another writers ideas or words as if they were your own, without acknowledging the source. Examples of Plagiarism The brief passage below is taken from page 72 of the book Norman Mailer by Philip Bufithis (Ungar, 1978). Examples of how the passage might be plagiarized follow below. Original Quote To any reader who accepts the terms of Mailers vision, this book generates intoxication hope, for Rojack is a pioneer of the spirit: his explanations give us a felt sense of expanding possibilities for the self. Mailer has defined character what the classic American heroes of James Fenimore Cooper and Herman Melville tried to do before him-get away from the enfeeblements of civilization, the crush of history. Copying Word for Word Without Quotation Marks or Acknowledging the Author the Source To any reader who accepts the terms of Mailers vision, this book generates intoxicating hope, for Rojack is a pioneer of the spirit: his explorations give is a felt sense of expanding possibilities for the self. Mailer has defined character in this novel as an endless series of second chances. Use of Some Key Words or Phrases Without Quotation Marks or Acknowledging the Author or the Source An American Dream may be seen as an optimistic book, for Rojack is a pioneer of the spirit. He is an example of character defined as an endless series of second chances. Note: Whether many or only a few key phrases are copied, they should be in quotation marks, with a source and author cited. Paraphrasing, giving No Author or Source Credit Rojack falls in the line of other American classic heroes created by James Fenimore Cooper and Herman Melville in his ardent individualism and his desire to escape the debilitating confines of society and accumulated weight of history. Using an Authors Idea Without Crediting the Author or the Source Rojack can be viewed as another Ahab or Deerslayer in his willingness to push the limits of his spiritual potential in the face of an inherently hostile universe. He struggles to redefine himself, in spite of the risk of self-destruction. Guidelines for Avoiding Plagiarism What To Do
