What is in-text referencing?

  • Each time a reference is made to someone else’s work in a document, the author’s name and the publication date of his/her work should be included within the text at the point where his/her ideas have been discussed. This is called citing the author’s work.
  • Remember: When in-text citation is used and there is more than one author at a time, the author’s names should be listed in the order the authors appear on the title page of the book or article!
