Put the information that you cite in quotes or paraphrase it in your own words and then write, "according to..." or "said..." after the information. Alternatively, you can cite with "According to..." or "... said," before the cited material. When citing from a text, write the page number in brackets at the end of the name of the publication you are citing.
Write the date of the information that you are citing in brackets after the name of the person or publication, for example, "According to Bob Franklin (2011), the number of geese that flew south for the winter in that same year decreased."
Write the page number of the publication at the end of the citation if it is available. For example, "The number of geese returning north after winter was an increase from the number that flew south," (Franklin, 2011, p. 203).
List the name of the publication in quotes with the year if the author is unknown. For example, ("2011 Census Report" 18). The 18 represents the page number.
