how do i make a quoted source on an essay(research or reading) for internet sources?
Favorite Answer
For MLA style:
blah blah blah “quote in here” (Last name of author, page number).
*Though if the quote is longer than 4 lines it needs to look like this:
Blah blah blah so and so says:
(tab) quote here…………………………………………………………
(tab) ……………………………………………………………………………
(tab) ……………………………………………………………………………
(tab) ………………………………………………………. (Last name of
(tab) author, page number).
continue the paper
*the (tab)s are there as a place holder. The quote should not have quotations but all of its lines should be indented.
then at the end of the paper you must have a works cited page. For example:
Works Cited
Last name, First name. Title of book underlined. Publisher’s
(hanging indent)city: Publisher’s name, Published date.
*leave a tab space when the citation runs over two lines – hence hanging indent
Notice the punctuation and just add in the information. Search online for internet sources, though most of the information stays the same and it is all necessary.
Also on the works cited page, sources need to be listed alphabetically. So for the above example, if the author’s last name was Brown, that source would come before a book written by Smith.
Good Luck
Carp have extremely small bones. When they live in muddy waters, their meat can sometimes tatse a little muddy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carp#Types_of_carp )
