Cite references in text. Although you will include a full annotated bibliography at the end of your paper, you still have to cite every piece of information you sourced when you use it in text. If the idea is not your own, you must cite it. ASR citations go at the end of the referenced sentence, outside any quotation marks (when quoting directly) and inside the closing period.
The correct format for ASR in-text citations is (Author's surname year:page number) with no other punctuation. For example, a quote from page 66 of a book published by John Smith in 2004 would be cited as (Smith 2004:66).
Enter the source in your bibliography. ASR Works Cited pages are formatted similarly to those in MLA style, but book titles are italicized rather than underlined, and the year of publication comes before the title:
Author's name (surname, first name). Year. Book title (italicized). Place of publication: Publisher.
For books with more than one author, list the surname of the first or primary author, followed by a comma and his first name, then another comma. List additional authors starting with first names and separated by commas. For example:
Smith, John, Jane Doe, and Tom Johnson.
Journal articles should be formatted as follows:
Author(s). Year. "Article title." Journal title (italicized), volume number (italicized), page numbers.
Annotate your entry. Annotations should be a new paragraph of a few sentences that justify why the source is relevant to your paper. For example, you may discuss the author's theoretical frameworks or write about her qualifications and research methods. Your annotation should be one paragraph in length.
Indent your annotations. The source entry should have a hanging indent. (That is, the beginning of the source--the author's name--should be in line with the margins, which for ASR must be 1 1/4 inches. If the source information runs onto a second or third line, these lines should be indented.) The annotation paragraph should be indented as you normally would a new paragraph in an essay. Your entire paper, including bibliography, must be double spaced.
