What is in-text referencing?

Adding in-text referencing into your work

Direct —this is where you are mentioning the authorship in your sentence, so you need to add the date, in brackets, after their family name, e.g. Greenbaum (1998)

Indirect —this is where you add both the author and date in brackets when you are mentioning the information you got from this source, e.g. (Shaw, 2017)

For a quotation , add quote marks around the phrase and include the author, year and page reference at the end, e.g. “verbal and observational data” (Stewart and Shamdasani, 2015, p.15)

Where there are 4 or more authors , include them all in the full reference, but just write the first one in the in-text reference followed by et al., e.g. (Bloor, et al., 2001)

Secondary referencing— only use this if you cannot access the original authors work, put the details of where you read about the person’s ideas, e.g. (Denscombe, 1946 cited in Merton and Kendall, 2010 )

...Another way to find out people’s views - is to use focus groups. This method was developed by Lazarsfeld and Merton in the 1940s (Bloor, et al., 2001). Merton (1987) found an established practice of 12 people being used to assess radio programmes. Together, Lazarsfeld and Merton developed the idea of a focused interview, and with others devised a set of standardized procedures (Denscombe, 1946 cited in Merton and Kendall, 2010). The ideas were largely forgotten until the 1960s, when Tom Greenbaum (1998) working for Proctor and Gamble, resurrected the idea. They found the benefit of focus groups are they generate “verbal and observational data” (Stewart and Shamdasani, 2015, p.15). To help keep the conversation relevant it was found that it was important to have a good moderator to run the focus group. Current guidance will also emphasis that if this is a work based group it is important not to include both supervisors and subordinates into the same group (HSE, 2018).
