In citations use colon between year and page number. Specific page citation is mandatory for a direct quote, or when referring to a paraphrased statement that is found only in a very specific place in a cited text. The page may be omitted if the reference is to the general theme of an entire work. The co-authors names are given in full in the Works Cited list. Works Cited should be alphabetized by author's last name.
