Multiple Authors for One Sentence in Your Paper

• 1). Take note of the authors' names, the works you referenced and the page numbers you used.
  
  
• 2). Find the sentence or paragraph in your paper that you wrote that referenced the work of your sources.
  
  
• 3). Type each author's name, followed by the appropriate page number of the material you cited. Separate names with a semicolon, enclose the entire reference in parentheses and place it at the end of the sentence but before the period. The citation should look like this:
  
  "Research has supported this hypothesis time and time again (Goode 5; Badde 64; Uglie 73)."
  
  
• 4). In your "Works Cited" section, list the entire source information, including author's full name, publication title, article title and date published. This citation varies depending on what type of source you used, such as a journal, book or an electronic source.
