I have the same author and date for two different sources. How do I cite them in text?
Answer
When citing the same author and same date for two different sources:
- Add a letter to the year.
- The letter corresponds the order on the References page.
- The sources go in alphabetical order by the title of the source.
Example:
- Martin, L. (2019a). Ancient Greece Homer. Webpage URL
- Martin, L. (2019b). Classical literature timeline. Webpage URL
In-text citation:
- Ancient Greece information will be (Martin, 2019a)
- Timeline information will be (Martin, 2019b).
