Fully Integrating Your Quotations

Here is an overview of what we covered in class. Remember, our goal is to include - in our sentences - all of the pertinent information of our source. This could mean several  bits of info, depending on our source:


  • publication title (such as The Chicago Tribune, CNN.com, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc.)
  • article/short piece title ("Why Joking Matters," "World Cup of Fraud," "Life Is Fine")
  • author/song writer character/person being quoted (if needed)
  • context of who this person is (Are you quoting the author? A 17th century British poet? A French biologist? Who?)
  • condensed and integrated quotation


Here's an example of what we're talking about. First e have a small bit of an online article, and then we have the fully integrated citation/quotation. (It's color coded with the list from above.)


In an article entitled "How Anti-Virals Exploit The One Weakness That Every Single Virus Has," published on the science blog IO9.com, author Esther Inglis-Arkell explains how, for "the people who make anti-virals," a "newly discovered protein could allow them to take control of viruses like puppeteers."
