In-text citations are references within the body of a text that give credit to the original source of information. They help avoid plagiarism and support claims with evidence. In-text citations typically include the author's last name and the year of publication (APA style) or the author's last name and page number (MLA style).



Examples:



  • APA: (Smith, 2020)

  • MLA: (Smith 45)


These citations correspond to a full reference in the bibliography or reference list at the end of the document.
