Writing Assignment Citations

In your chapter summaries and final paper, you must cite all nonoriginal information from Gould's The Mismeasure of Man. I take plagiarism very seriously, so if you plagiarize your grade for that assignment will be significantly reduced.

You must cite anything that is not common knowledge, anything that you don't know without looking up, anything that you paraphrase from a source, and anything that you quote directly from a source.

Use in-text parenthetical citations in American Anthropological Association style, as illustrated below.

Note placement of all punctuation, especially the period at the end of the sentence in relation to quote marks and parentheses. Also note that verbs are past tense.

To cite the course lectures, use Applegate (2007). To cite the textbook, use the guidelines below with "Mielke et al." as the authors.

CITING PRIMARY SOURCES

For paraphrases, give the author's last name and date:

citations at the end of a sentence:

              Sentence ... (LastName Year).                            Sentence ... (Gould 1996).

citations within a sentence:

     According to LastName (Year), ... .                  According to Gould (1996), ... .

     LastName (Year) argued that ... .                      Gould (1996) argued that ... .

For quotes, give the author's last name, date and page number and include quotation marks:

citations at the end of a sentence:

     " quote " (LastName Year:Page).            " quote " (Gould 1996:23).

citations within a sentence:

     As LastName (Year:Page) noted, "quote."       As Gould (1996:23) noted, "quote."
     LastName (Year:Page) stated "quote."             Gould (1996:232) stated "quote."

CITING SECONDARY SOURCES

For paraphrases, give the original author's last name and date in addition to Gould's information:

citations at the end of a sentence:

              Sentence ... (LastName Year as cited in Gould 1996).

citations within a sentence:

     According to LastName (Year as cited in Gould 1996), ... .

     LastName (Year as cited in Gould 1996) argued that ... .

For quotes, give the original author's last name, date and page number in addition to Gould's information, and include quotation marks:

citations at the end of a sentence:

     " quote " (LastName Year:Page as quoted in Gould 1996:23).

citations within a sentence:

     As LastName (Year:Page as quoted in Gould 1996:45) noted, "quote."
     LastName (Year:Page as quoted in Gould 1996:117) stated "quote."
