Quoting
When you quote someone's exact words in your paper, put their words in quotation marks and tell your reader who said or wrote the words by citing the author.
For example:
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools" (King, 1964).
OR
"As Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. said, We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools" (1964).
The information in parentheses is called an in-text citation. The citation shows that this quote is from Dr. King and he said these words in 1964.
You will have these short citations within the body of your paper, then more complete citations in a list at the end of your paper in your "References" or "Works Cited" page.
Davenport uses APA as their citation method.
