Credit to Authors and Sources
Option #1: Paraphrasing
Rewording Source Information in Your Own Words
· Rephrase source information in your own words. Avoid
repeating the same words of the author.
· Remember, you cannot just replace words from the
original sentence.
12. · Add the author’s last name and a number to the end of
your paraphrase as a citation (which will be the same on
your Source List).
ORIGINAL SOURCE
“Writing at a college level requires informed
research.”
PARAPHRASING
As Harvey wrote, when writing a paper for higher
education, it is critical to research and cite
sources (1).
When writing a paper for higher education, it is
imperative to research and cite sources (Harvey, 1).
Option #2: Quoting
Citing Another Person’s Work Word-for-Word
· Place quotation marks at the beginning and end of
quoted information.
· Limit quotes to two or fewer sentences (approximately 25
words) at a time.
· Do not start a sentence with a quotation.
· Introduce and explain quotes within the context of your
paper.
· Add the author’s last name and a number to the end of
the quote as a citation (which will be the same on your
13. Source List).
ORIGINAL SOURCE
“Writing at a college level requires informed
research.”
QUOTING
Harvey wrote in his book, “Writing at a college level
requires informed research” (1).
Many authors agree, “Writing at a college level
requires informed research” (Harvey, 1).
Use these rules for using evidence and creating in-text citations!
General Credit
· Credit quoted or paraphrased sources using an in-text
citation. An in-text citation includes the primary author’s last
name
and the number of the source from the Source List.
· Before using any source, first determine its credibility. Then
decide if the source is appropriate and relevant for your
project. Find tips here.
· Well-researched assignments have at least as many sources as
pages (see assignment instructions).

Strayer University Writing Standards 7
14. Web sources are accessed through an internet browser.
Home Pages
A home page loads when typing a standard web address. For
instance, typing Google.com into any web browser will take
you to Google’s home page.
Cite a homepage when using information from a news thread,
image, or basic piece of information on a company’s website.
Find Tips Here.
Specific Web Pages
If using any web page other than the home page, include the
specific page title and direct link (when possible) in the Source
List entry.
If the assignment used multiple web pages from the same
source, create separate Source List entries (if the title and/or
web
address is different).
Effective Internet Links
When sharing a link to an article with your instructor and
classmates, start with a brief summary of the article and why
you chose to
share it.
Share vs. URL Options
Cutting and pasting the URL (web address) from your browser
may not allow others to view your source. This makes it hard
for
people to engage with the content you used.
To avoid this problem, look for a “share” option and choose that
when possible. Always test your link(s) before submitting.
15. If you cannot properly share the link, include the article/source
as an attachment. Interested classmates and your professor can
reference the article shared as an attachment. Find tips here.
Credit for Web Sources
Charts, images, and tables should be centered horizontally on
the page and should be followed by an in-text citation. Design
your page and place a citation below the chart, image, or table.
When referring to the chart, image, or table in the body of the
assignment, use the citation.
Do not include a chart, image, or table without introducing it in
the assignment and explaining why it is necessary.
On your Source List, provide the following details of the visual:
· Author’s name (if created by you, provide your name).
· Date (if created by you, provide the year).
· Type (Chart, Image, or Table).
· How to find it (link or other information; see Source List
section for additional details).

16. Traditional Sources
Page Numbers
When referencing multiple pages in a textbook or other
print book, consider adding page numbers to help the
audience understand where the information is found. You
can do this in three ways:
a. by including it in the body of your assignment; or
or b. by using an in-text citation;
or c. by listing page numbers in the order used in your
assignment on the Source List.
Check with your instructor or the assignment guidelines to
see if there is a preference based on your course.
IN-TEXT CITATION
(Harvey, 1, p. 16)
In the example, the author is Harvey, the source list number
is 1, and the page number where this information can be
found is page 16.
Multiple Sources (Synthesizing)
Synthesizing is the use of multiple sources in one
paraphrased sentence or paragraph to make a strong point.
While this is normally done in advanced writing, it could be
useful for any writing where you use more than one source.
Find tips here.
The key is clarity. If you paraphrase multiple sources
in the same sentence (or paragraph if most of the
information contained in the paragraph is paraphrased),
17. you should include each source in the citation. Separate
sources using semi-colons (;) and create the citation in
the normal style that you would for using only one source
(Name, Source Number).
SYNTHESIZED IN-TEXT CITATION
(Harvey, 1; Buchanan, 2)
In the example, the authors Harvey and Buchanan were
paraphrased to help the student make a strong point.
Harvey is the first source on the Source List, and Buchanan
is the second source on the Source List.
Advanced Methods
Some assignments require more advanced techniques. If
necessary, these guidelines help with special
case scenarios.

Strayer University Writing Standards 9
Substitution and Ellipsis
Omitting unnecessary information from a direct quotation
is often required. To omit information, delete the
unnecessary information and replace it with an ellipsis
inside of square brackets, like this: […]. Find tips here.
There are times when a quality source has made a mistake,
but you still value the information that the source provides.
To solve this issue, change elements of the source (noting
18. what additions or changes were required). When changing
elements within a direct quotation, delete the original
information and surround the new wording or spelling with
square brackets, like this: “[W]riting”.
The bracket here shows that the original source may have
misspelled “writing” or that the “W” has been capitalized
and was lowercase in the source material.
NOTE: Ellipsis and square brackets cannot be used in
paraphrased source material.
ORIGINAL SOURCE
“Writing at a college level requires informed
research.”
ELLIPSIS
Harvey wrote that writing “at a college level
requires […] research” (1).
SUBSTITUTION
Many authors agree that “[w]riting at an [under-
graduate] college level requires informed re-
search” (1).
Footnotes and Additional Content
Written assignments may benefit from including relevant
background information that is not necessarily important
for the main body of the assignment.
To include extra secondary evidence or authorial
commentary, insert a numeral superscript into the text of
19. the assignment and add the extra evidence or commentary
in the footer of the page as a footnote. (Note: Microsoft
Word’s “Insert Footnote” function is the preferred method.)
When writing a paper for higher education,4 it is
imperative to research and cite sources (Harvey,
1). This suggestion applies to both undergraduate
and graduate students, and it is the first thing that
beginning students must internalize.
4 Mathews has pointed out that this suggestion is
appropriate for all levels of education, even those outside
of university, and is in fact best practices for any form
of professional writing (2). However, this paper focuses
specifically on writing in college-level education.
Appendices
An assignment may require an appendix following the Source
List. The appendix is meant to declutter the assignment body
or provide relevant supplemental information for the audience.
If there is only one appendix, it is labeled, Appendix. More than
one appendix may be required. Label the first appendix
Appendix A, the second Appendix B, and so on. Each chart,
graphic, or photograph referred to in the body of the
assignment requires its own listing in the appendices.
Use descriptive labels in the body of your written assignment to
link each chart, graphic, or photograph to its place in the
appendices. For example, when referring to a chart found in
Appendix B, a student would include (see Appendix B, Cost of
Tuition in Secondary Education, 2010-2019) after referring to
data drawn from that chart.

Source List
The Source List includes all sources used in your assignment. It
is a new page added at the end of your
assignment. The list gives credit to authors whose work
supported your own and should provide enough
information so that others can find the source(s) without your
help.
Build your Source List as you write.
� Type “Sources” at the top of a new page.
� Include a numbered list of the sources you used in your
paper (the numbers indicate the
order in which you used them).
1. Use the number one (1) for the first source used in the paper,
the number two (2) for
the second source, and so on.
2. Use the same number for a source if you use it multiple
times.
� Ensure each source includes five parts: author or
organization, publication date, title,
page number (if needed), and how to find it. If you have trouble
finding these details, then
re-evaluate the credibility of your source.
21. � Use the browser link for a public webpage.
� Use a permalink for a webpage when possible. Find tips
here.
� Instruct your readers on how to find all sources that do not
have a browser link or a
permalink.
� Separate each Source List element with a period on your
Source List.

corporation you researched. Provide a thoughtful and well
researched response. Consider for example, how your chosen
company has been involved in expanding globally, how it has
been impacted by global competition, and the global economy.
Do not simply define the term globalization. If your company
has locations in other countries, do not just state that your
corporation has locations in other countries or simply list the
various countries in which the company does business. You
need to assess the impact globalization has had on your selected
corporation.
Your assessment should demonstrate that you have read,
understand, and can apply the globalization concepts covered in
the textbook and course resources. You must consider the
various aspects of globalization discussed in the course and
make judgments about their impacts to your selected
corporation. Do not write about globalization in general terms.
Your assessment should be directly related to your selected
corporation. Your writing here should thoroughly assess how
globalization has impacted your chosen corporation. Do not
Google “globalization”. You must display an understanding
based on what is studied in this course and demonstrate an
ability to apply the concepts in a real-world assessment of a
corporation. Your textbook must be a source along with other
credible sources that support the globalization concepts covered
in this course. Read chapters 1-3 in the course textbook as each

28. the public corporation you researched. Provide a thoughtful and
well researched response. Consider for example, how the
company has been impacted by cloud computing, social media,
crowdfunding, program apps, email, texting, websites, mobile,
automation, robotics, IOT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial
Intelligence), e-commerce, data and analytics, etc. Research
how the company may have been impacted by diffusion and
disruptive technologies as explained in the textbook. Do not
simply define the term technology. You will need to assess the
impact changes in technology have had on your selected
corporation.
Your assessment should demonstrate that you have read,
understand, and can apply the technology concepts covered in
the textbook and course resources. You must consider the
various aspects of technological changes discussed in the course

Your assessment should be directly related to your selected
public corporation. If your company is technologically
advanced, do not simply list the various technologies they
possess but rather assess how changes in technology have
impacted the corporation. You must display an understanding
based on what is studied in this course and demonstrate an
ability to apply the concepts in a real-world assessment of a
corporation. Do not Google “technology”. Your writing here

classification of stakeholders, as described in this course. Hint:
See Figure 1.4. Do not write in general terms about
stakeholders. Your evaluation must thoroughly and specifically
describe how each classification of stakeholders impacts your
selected corporation’s success. It is critical that you display
your understanding of stakeholder classifications. Without the
identification and evaluation of each of the stakeholder
classifications, discussed in the course, you have not met the
requirements. Read chapter 1 for additional background on
