How to Cite in Paragraphs by Dr. Carter
If all of your material in a paragraph comes from the same source on the same page, you can cite once at the end of the paragraph: Topic sentence topic sentence topic sentence. Paraphrased fact #1 paraphrased fact #1. Paraphrased fact #2 paraphrased fact #2. Paraphrased fact #3 paraphrased fact #3. Paraphrased fact #4 paraphrased fact #4 (Carter 111).
The same is true if your source has no author or is from the internet: Topic sentence topic sentence topic sentence. Paraphrased fact #1 paraphrased fact #1. Paraphrased fact #2 paraphrased fact #2. Paraphrased fact #3 paraphrased fact #3. Paraphrased fact #4 paraphrased fact #4 (“Armor”).
If your material comes from the same source but different pages, you give the new numbers but don’t repeat the author’s name: Topic sentence topic sentence. Paraphrased fact #1 paraphrased fact #1 (Carter 111). Paraphrased fact #2 paraphrased fact #2 (112). Paraphrased fact #3 paraphrased fact #3 (113). Paraphrased fact #4 paraphrased fact #4 (114).
The same is true if you have more than one paragraph that comes from the same source: Paragraph #1 paragraph #1 paragraph #1 paragraph #1 paragraph #1 paragraph #1 paragraph #1 paragraph #1(Carter 111). Paragraph #2 paragraph #2 paragraph #2 paragraph #2 paragraph #2 paragraph #2 paragraph #2 paragraph #2 paragraph #2 (111).
If you have more than one author, of course you have to mention the new author’s name: Topic sentence topic sentence. Paraphrased fact #1 paraphrased fact #1 (Carter 111). Paraphrased fact #2 paraphrased fact #2 (112). Paraphrased fact #3 paraphrased fact #3 (113). Paraphrased fact #4 paraphrased fact #4 (Spitzer 46).
If you have a quote in your paragraph, you have to cite it even if it’s the same source and page as the rest of the material: Topic sentence topic sentence. Paraphrased fact #1 paraphrased fact #1 (Carter111). Quote intro, “Quote #1 quote #1” (111).Paraphrased fact #2 paraphrased fact #2 (111).Paraphrased fact #3 paraphrased fact #3 (112).
As in the first paragraph we discussed, you can “combine” citations before or after a quote: Topic sentence topic sentence. Paraphrased fact #1 paraphrased fact #1. Paraphrased fact #2 paraphrased fact #2 (Carter 112). Quote intro, “Quote quotequote” (113). Paraphrased fact #4 paraphrased fact #4. Paraphrased fact #5 paraphrased fat #5(114).
