MSIN 695 - Capstone Course: Information Systems Research Project Seminar: Writing

Narrative citations are in-text citations where the author's name(s) are inside of the sentence, not inside of the citation. This style of citation helps your writing flow more naturally. See the In-text Citation Guide

Example:

Siponen and Vance (2010) asked ISS managers to report the, "most common and significant information security policy  violations" (p. 17).

Example adapted from:
