How do I cite it if I take a whole paragraph from a source (website) into my research paper? I'm not talking about the works cited page. It just that I have to cite inside the actual paper. Its MLA format.
How do I cite a website in my research paper?
For Web citations, where few Web documents have page numbers, you can give either a section or paragraph number (if those exist in the document) or simply the author's last name or short title. Here are examples:
A spa chemistry expert recommends adding spa shock after using the spa "in order to help assure a sanitizer level in the water" (Schuster).
Note: If there are no page numbers, as is usual with Web documents, do not make up one or use the number one (as in "Jones 1") to cover the whole document. Use a number only when there is a number.
Reply:Put it in quotes and in parentheses put the author and website
Reply:you shouldn't take the whole paragraph....
thats called plagiarism, and its illegal.
you can put it into your own words,
but it sounds like your not.....
