The document discusses how to create in-text citations when integrating sources into academic writing. It explains that in-text citations include the author's last name, year of publication, and page or paragraph number if quoting directly from the source. For paraphrasing or summarizing a source, only the author's name and year are needed. Signal phrases can be used to introduce a source, in which case only the page or paragraph number is necessary in the citation. Different citation formats are required depending on whether the source has one or multiple authors or if the publication date is unknown.
