One Response to Is the correct formatting for in-text citation?

  1. Put the citation before the period of the sentence that you are citing. For example:

    The cat was “struck so heavily that it fainted” (Hirsch 47).
    This example is entirely fictional.

    And if you are using the title of a book or website, underline it. If it is the name of an article, poem, story, etc. put it in quotation marks. Remember to put the first thing that will be on your works cited sheet in the inline citation.
