- 1). Write the text of your article or essay, including the quote from the source.
- 2). Insert parentheses at the end of the quoted material. Add the author's last name only, followed by the date and page number, if a book. You don't include the title "Dr." in the in-text citation.
- 3). Format your reference list alphabetically by last name. Last names starting with "A" go first. You don't use the "Dr." title in the name for the reference list either.
- 4). Write a reference for a book with the following format: Author's name (date of publication). Underlined Title (edition). Place of Publication: Publisher.
For example, Dr. Phil McGraw's "The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom" would be quoted this way:
McGraw, Phil (2003). The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom (underlined) (1st Edition). New York: First Press. - 5). Continue listing references, omitting the "Dr." title in your reference list and in-text citations.
