oExample:

If I am writing a summary fothe article:

Grant, A. 1993. Jurassic Parks “velociraptors” were actually genus called

Deinonychus. Journal of DinosaurMovie Factuality 3(2): 60-69.

• This is how to cite an article in a bibliography.

Then the in-text citation can be:

Gran(1993) explainethathe Hollywoofilm, Jurassic Park, did not correctly name someof their dinosaurs; the worst offender on his list was the velociraptor,

which should havmore appropriatelybeen calleDeinonychus.

The Hollywoofilm, Jurassic Park, had some inaccuracies when it named a few of theirdinosaurs. One examplof this is the velociraptor (Grant, 1993).

oIf therare TWO authors of an article, you include bothnames like this:

Grant and Sattler (1993) found tharaptors canopen doors.

Raptors have been observed to open doors (Grantand Sattler, 1994).

Tyrannosaurus rex between groups thamoved and groups tharemained perfectlmotionless (p <0.05).

When faced by Tyrannosaurus rex attack, iwasfound that groups thamoved were

more likely to get eaten than groups tharemainemotionless (p < 0.05(Grant et al.,1993).
