How do I cite when paraphrasing more than one sentence?

Answer

In-text citations at the end of each sentence can be repetitive when you are paraphrasing the ideas of an author in more than one sentence in a paragraph. While you still must attribute any ideas which are not your own in each sentence, you can avoid multiple in-text citations of the same article by using a lead-in referring to your source. 

Examples: 

  • "According to (authors)..." 
  • "The also state..." 
  • "This article concludes..."
