Citing non-print or sources from the Internet

While many sources on the Internet should not be used for scholarly work, some Web sources are perfectly acceptable for research. When creating in-text citations for electronic, film, or Internet sources, remember that your citation must reference the source in your Works Cited.

The temp’s appearance ended up being misleading. “But, as it is said, the cut of a man’s suit, or the color of a pig’s lipstick, is not the measure of his or her character, or something like that” (Goodman).

In-text citations for print sources with no known author (Just use the title of the article)

We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . ." ("Impact of Global Warming" 6).

Citing the Bible

You want to make clear which Bible you're using (italicize the title), as each version varies in its translation, followed by book (do not italicize or underline), chapter and verse. For example:

Ezekiel saw "what seemed to be four living creatures," each with faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (New Jerusalem Bible, Ezek. 1.5-10).
