Section B, below, gives examples of how different types of sources should appear in the Works Cited list. Use the abbreviation n.p. If the date is not obvious then use the abbreviation n.d . These are references in the body of the paper that document quotation, paraphrases, and the direct use of information and ideas. They are used instead of footnotes or endnotes.
References appear in parenthesis within the text of the essay.
The parenthetical references correspond to the list of works cited. In other words, the information given in the parenthetical reference should make it absolutely clear to the reader which source is being referred to in your list of Works Cited. Abbreviate the title if it is longer than a few words. Keep the references in parentheses as brief as possible. If you mention the author's name or the title of the source in your text, then you do not include the information in the parenthetical reference.
