Can you please explain what is in-text citation for this--
Braslavsky, C. (March 2003). Education, globalization and international action. Prospects, 1-3. Retrieved February 16, 2007,
Simply put this after the quotation or paraphrase: (Braslavsky).
Do you know why?
Is it suppose to look like this?
March 2003. "Education globalization and international action".(Braslavsky)
Prospect, 13. Retrieved February 16,2007
You are to follow the APA guidelines, right?
Use this as your directions:

Use the list of links at the left as the table of contents.

You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:
1. the Reference List 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.
APA style says that the in-text citation should be (Braslavsky, March, 2003) immediately after the quotation or paraphrase. The reference text would list the actual source. There are rules for that, too, but that's not what you asked.
If you are citing more than one article by the same author, then the month would be appropriate. If only once, one article, then the year is all that's needed.
Thank you so much. Ms.Writacher

Denise, did you go into the website I gave you and read about the differences between the Reference List and in-text citations? I think you're mixing the two up.
Make sure you read and study that website's explanations and examples carefully.
Certainly! In-text citations are a way to acknowledge and reference the sources of information used in your writing. They are an important part of academic or scholarly writing, as they help readers locate the original source of the information you have cited.
In the example you provided, the in-text citation would typically be used when referencing or quoting the information from the article by Braslavsky, titled "Education, globalization and international action," published in Prospects.
To include an in-text citation for this source in your writing, you would place the author's last name (Braslavsky) and the year of publication (March 2003) in parentheses at the appropriate point in your sentence or paragraph. This allows the reader to see that the information you have provided is borrowed from a specific source.
Here's an example of how you could use an in-text citation for this source:
According to Braslavsky (2003), the impact of globalization on education requires international action.
Additionally, it is important to include a corresponding full citation for the source in the reference list at the end of your document. The full citation provides all the necessary details for locating and identifying the source. The full citation for this particular source would include the author's name, the title of the article, the publication (Prospects), the page numbers (1-3), and the retrieval information (Retrieved Month, Day, Year) indicating when you accessed the article.
I hope this explanation helps clarify the concept of in-text citations for you! Let me know if you have any further questions.
