Introduce the source with an initial phrase. Then, summarize, paraphrase, or quote the material as needed and provide proper citations.  When directly quoting the source, use quotation marks and cite the author, year, and page number.  For summarizing, briefly present the main points and cite the author and year. When paraphrasing, restate the information in your own words and cite the author, year, and page number.  Include relevant details about the author, title, and genre when citing the source for the first time. Each college may have varying guidelines for sourcing, so it’s important to check with your institution what is required.
