The in-text (also known as the parenthetical) citation is a method to communicate to your reader what source you are using in the text of your assignment. The in-text citation should provide enough information to point the reader to corresponding reference in your work cited page
The works cited page is an alphabetical list of all the sources cited in your paper. Your sources are represented in the works cited page via a full citation. The full citation includes information to identify the source. The types of information recorded in a full citation can include the author name(s), the title of the work, date of publication, title of periodical, title of website, name of the database and the type of medium (web, print, video, cd).
