In text Citations• How might you show an in text citation?

• Direct quotation “It was the best of times it was the worst of times” (Dickens, 1875, p.1)
• Name, Date, Page when direct quotation
• Zarife (2017, p21) argues that
• Name outside brackets and (Date, Page inside brackets) when sentence wouldn’t make sense otherwise
• Birmingham has more canals than Venice. (Bowater, 2017)
• Name, date in brackets – if sentence stands alone, makes sense.
