Whether you quote, paraphrase, or summarize from someone else's work, you need to have the source cited in TWO places:
1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase or summary.
For example, this listing for a webpage would go on the Works Cited page with proper indentation for the second and following lines:
Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.
... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)
The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.

Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:
(Broken Link Removed)
Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column and then click on whatever type of resource you've used (book, article, website, etc.) Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.
You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on Sample Works Cited in the left column.

If you need to cite in APA or another format, go here:

In the column at the left, scroll down until you see the different topics on evidence and the different styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).

This will help you with APA bibliographies.

I'd be happy to help you with your citation question! When citing websites in your paper, you generally want to follow a specific citation style, such as MLA, APA, or Chicago. Each style has its own rules for in-text citations and the format of the reference page. For the purpose of this explanation, let's focus on MLA style. Here are the general guidelines for citing websites in MLA format:
1. In-text citations: When you include a fact or information from a website in your paper, you should provide a brief in-text citation. This usually includes the author's last name (if available) and the page number or paragraph number (if applicable). If there is no page or paragraph number, you can omit that part.
Example: According to Smith (2019), the global warming rate is increasing (para. 5).
2. Parenthetical citations: Within parentheses, you can provide the full reference of the website. In MLA style, this includes the author's name (if available), the title of the webpage (in quotation marks), the title of the overall website (in italics or underlined), the publication date (if available), and the URL.
Example: (Smith, "Global Warming Facts," Environmental News, 2019, www.example.com)
3. Works Cited page: At the end of your paper, you should include a separate page called "Works Cited" listing all the sources you have cited. The format for a website citation on the Works Cited page is similar to the parenthetical citation, but with some slight differences. It generally looks like this:
Smith, John. "Global Warming Facts." Environmental News. 2019. www.example.com.
Remember to indent each line after the first line of each citation.
Note that the above information is just a general guide, and you should refer to the specific guidelines of the citation style you are using or consult a detailed MLA guidebook for formatting details.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
