In-text citation

MLA-58

The connection between obesity and diabetes has been well documented (Amer. Diabetes Assn.; Grady; Rogers and Still).

Explain

  • To cite more than one source in the parentheses, give the citations in alphabetical order and separate them with a semicolon.
  • Multiple citations are not widely used in the humanities, so you should not overuse the technique. (The sciences and social sciences do use multiple citations.) If you want to alert readers to several sources that discuss a particular topic, consider using an information note instead.
