NURS 604M

• Include the author's last name with the year, e.g., (Coltrane, 1998).
• Include the page number if quoting directly, e.g., (Coltrane, 1998, pp. 33-34).
• If there is no author, use a shortened title, e.g., ("Understanding Sensory Memory," 2018).
• If there are multiple works by the same author and same date, use lowercase letter assigned to the year in the reference list, e.g., (Lazarus, 2000b).
• When a book has two authors, use both names and the year in every citation, e.g., (Day & Neubauer, 2001).
• For a work with three or more authors, include the name of only the first author plus "et al." in every citation. e.g., (Martin et al., 2020).

If at all possible, find and cite the original source directly. If you can't find the original source, cite the source that you found in your References list, and use "as cited in" in your in-text citation to that source. For example, if you read a work by Lyon et al. (2014) in which Rabbit (1982) was cited, and you were unable to read Rabbitt's work yourself, your in-text citation would look like this, and you would only include Lyon's source in your References list:

(Rabbitt, 1982, as cited in Lyon et al., 2014).
