    • Referring to a source - mentioning the work without giving much detail 
    • Summarising (paraphrasing) - writing a short description of the ideas or opinions in your own words
    • Quoting - using the actual words of the source.

    Whenever you do any of these, you need to cite in the body of your work the author surname(s) and year of publication. Add page number(s) when quoting or referring to part of a longer work.   Quotes should be clearly marked by quotation marks (" ").

    Here is a basic template for your in-text citation:
    (Surname, year, p./pp.)
