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.
· 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 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 Writing Standards 7
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.
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).

Strayer Writing Standards 8
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), 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.
https://ask.library.strayer.edu/faq/316321
Strayer 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 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 [undergrad-
uate] college level requires informed research” (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 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.
� 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.
AUTHOR PUBLICATION DATE TITLE PAGE NO. HOW TO
FIND
The person(s) who published
the source. This can be a
single person, a group of
people, or an organization. If
the source has no author, use
“No author” where you would
list the author.
The date the source was
published. If the source has
no publication date, use “No
date” where you would list
the date.
The title of the
source. If the
source has no title,
use “No title” where
you would list the
title.
The page
number(s) used.
If the source has
no page numbers,
omit this section
from your Source
List Entry.
Instruct readers how to find all
sources. Keep explanations
simple and concise, but provide
enough information so the
source can be located. Note:
It is your responsibility to make
sure the source can be found.

In the case of multiple
authors, only list the first.

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.
· 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 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).

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.
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).

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), 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.
https://ask.library.strayer.edu/faq/316321
Strayer 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 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 [undergrad-
uate] college level requires informed research” (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 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.
� 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.
AUTHOR PUBLICATION DATE TITLE PAGE NO. HOW TO
FIND
The person(s) who published
the source. This can be a
single person, a group of
people, or an organization. If
the source has no author, use
“No author” where you would
list the author.
The date the source was
published. If the source has
no publication date, use “No
date” where you would list
the date.
The title of the
source. If the
source has no title,
use “No title” where
you would list the
title.
The page
number(s) used.
If the source has
no page numbers,
omit this section
from your Source
List Entry.
Instruct readers how to find all
sources. Keep explanations
simple and concise, but provide
enough information so the
source can be located. Note:
It is your responsibility to make
sure the source can be found.

Week 7 Assignment - Case Study: Dynamic Pricing – Strategies
for Enhancing Profitability
Overview
Dynamic pricing is a collection of pricing strategies used by
firms and organization to enhance profits. You will begin by
exploring pricing techniques that operate in the market in real
time. Then you will explore how auctions are employed in the
search to find the value of goods and services.
Consult the following video before getting started:
·
The Ideal Auction.
Instructions
Write a 7-page paper in which you:
Compare and contrast surge versus congestion
pricing. Provide a specific example of each currently in use.
There are many types of auctions, each with strengths and
weakness at uncovering the real price/value of an
item. Compare and contrast how each of the following uncovers
value
and provide a specific example of how each uncovers
value:
· The English auction and the Dutch auction.
· The sealed-bid first-price auction and the Vickery Auction.
Auctions are widely used. Analyze an actual auction employed
by each of the following:
· A state or federal government or an agency of a state
or federal government.
· A for-profit business.
· For each, explain what type of auction is employed and how
the auction solves the problem of finding the best price for the
good or service.
Read the
Letter from Senator Warren to Fed on Wells Fargo FHC
Status [PDF].
· Explain how an auction to sell the Wells Fargo consumer-
facing banking division might be used to determine the value of
the division.
· Include a recommendation on what type of auction might be
used.

Avoid repeating the same words of the author. · Remember, you cannot just replace words from the original sentence. · 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).
  • 11. 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 Source List). ORIGINAL SOURCE
  • 12. “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). https://library.strayer.edu/research_strategies/evaluate https://library.strayer.edu/research_strategies/evaluate Strayer Writing Standards 7 Web sources are accessed through an internet browser.
  • 13. 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.
  • 14. 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).

  • 15. Strayer Writing Standards 8 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.
  • 16. 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), 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. https://ask.library.strayer.edu/faq/316321 Strayer 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
  • 17. solve this issue, change elements of the source (noting 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 [undergrad- uate] college level requires informed research” (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,
  • 18. insert a numeral superscript into the text of 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
  • 19. in Secondary Education, 2010-2019) after referring to data drawn from that chart. https://ask.library.strayer.edu/ faq/316322 Strayer Writing Standards 10 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.
  • 20. � 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. AUTHOR PUBLICATION DATE TITLE PAGE NO. HOW TO FIND The person(s) who published the source. This can be a single person, a group of people, or an organization. If the source has no author, use “No author” where you would list the author. The date the source was published. If the source has no publication date, use “No date” where you would list the date. The title of the source. If the source has no title, use “No title” where you would list the title.
  • 21. The page number(s) used. If the source has no page numbers, omit this section from your Source List Entry. Instruct readers how to find all sources. Keep explanations simple and concise, but provide enough information so the source can be located. Note: It is your responsibility to make sure the source can be found.

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 Source List).

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.

  • 36. 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.

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).

  • 38. Strayer Writing Standards 8 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.
  • 39. 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), 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. https://ask.library.strayer.edu/faq/316321 Strayer 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
  • 40. solve this issue, change elements of the source (noting 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 [undergrad- uate] college level requires informed research” (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,
  • 41. insert a numeral superscript into the text of 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

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.
