Citation in text
Notice how the following two examples use author’s name, year of publication and page number (for specific part of the source)
in two different ways:
1. Author’s name in text: In his examination of how the historian interacts with the history, Foner (2002) states that
“our calling requires us to analyze past events” (p. 3).
2. Author’s name in reference: The recent examination of how the historian interacts with the history states that “our
calling requires us to analyze past events” (Foner, 2002, p. 3).
