So, I'm doing a research paper. Fun, I know. But, I can't seem to figure out where to place my in-text citations. Can anyone help? Here are some samples: Here, there are two sources being used. Source A is referring to the Iowa women while Source B is referring to Iowa's legalization of same-sex marriage. Where would I put these in-text citations? I also took all my information from internet sources, but I'm not sure how their in-text citations work either. I tried scouring Google for an answer, but all of them seemed to confuse me even more. Can anyone simplify it for me? Sorry. :/ (clarification: how does an in-text citation of an internet article look like?) Thank you in advance.
Let's pretend that these are text: Source A: Rogers 84 (84 is a page number, not a publication year, because this isn't APA) Source B: Williams 124 "They are two Iowa women, now at the ripe age of 91 and 90 (Rogers 84), but until recently, they were unable to get legally married. In 2009, their state permitted same-sex marriage (Williams 124), and five years later, on September 9th, 2014, they were wed at last."
This might help: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/ My MLA is a little rusty, but I'm pretty certain that if there isn't an author listed, then it's the title of the web page in the citation. You put the citations after the line that you drew from them. So if I'm getting this right...
Cornell has a pretty good MLA Citation Style Guide with examples of how to cite single and multiple authors, as well as different types of publications and sources. It gives you examples of in text citations, and how to list sources used in your bibliography.
