The American Management Association and ePolicy Institute have tracked employers’ practices in monitoring employees’ e-mail use. The groups’ 2003 survey found that one-third of companies had a policy of keeping and reviewing employees’ e-mail messages (“2003 E-mail” 2); in 2005, more than 55% of companies engaged in e-mail monitoring (“2005 Electronic” 1).

A 2005 survey found that 20% of employers responding had employees’ e-mail “subpoenaed in the course of a lawsuit or regulatory investigation,” up 7% from the previous year (Amer. Management Assn. and ePolicy Inst., “2005 Electronic” 1).
Explain
If your list of works cited includes two or more titles by the same author, mention the title of the work in the signal phrase or include a short version of the title in the parentheses.
Titles of articles and other short works are placed in quotation marks; titles of books are italicized.
In the rare case when both the author’s name and a short title must be given in parentheses, separate them with a comma (as in the second example).
Note that common terms are abbreviated in the parentheses but not in the signal phrase.
