Author-Date Text Citations

One author:
 In Milgram’s obedience experiments, subjects were duped into believing they were to be “teachers” (Bok 1986).

Two or three authors:
In Milgram’s experiment the “teachers” were to administer painful electric shocks of increasing strength to “learners” whenever the latter made mistakes (Elm and Oak 1982).  The so-called learners were actually actors (Wagon, Blink, and Gold 1998).

More than three authors:
As the teachers administered what they thought was an ever stronger punishment, they were observed to see whether they continued or
protested (Gold et al. 1989).

Group as author:
 (International Rice Research Institute 1990)

Page or other specific reference:
 (Bly 1987, 125).

Volume and page number:
 (Wazinski 1989, 3:1114).
