In Text Citations

All sources cited in text are also in the References list with the exception of classical works. 

Direct quotations include the author (title), the date, and specific part of the source. 

All quotations < 40 words are enclosed in quotation marks. The in text parenthetical phrase comes before the ending punctuation. 

All quotations >40 words are shown as an intended  block quote with no additional beginning paragraph intending. The parenthetical phrase comes after the punctuation. 

Paraphrasing is a restatement of the original source in my own words. 

Paraphrased in text citations include the author (title) and the date. It is is optional to include the specific page, paragraph,or sectbion of a source that is paraphrased.

For any multi author sources, for any source with >3 and <6 authors they are all written out the first time, but subsequent use, I can use the first author followed by et al. 

If the information for the in text citation is included in the body of text I am writing and I have multiple authors, the word and is spelled out, Jones, Smith, and Black. If the information for the in text citation is all included in a parenthetical phrase an ampersand is used to separate the next to last and last authors, e.g.

When an author is repeated within a paragraph, with no other sources used in between.
