Intext citations
A quotation
Jung (1989) says, "What we call 'psychology' today is a science that is possible only on the basis of certain historical and moral presuppositions..."
A paraphase
According to an article entitled, "Working Conditions" on the Web site of the Japanese Nursing Association, due to the increasing number of severely ill and aging patients, the demand for nurses in Japan has exceeded the supply.
Journalists in Japan share information with each other. This practice is known as memo-awase. As a result, the articles read the same in every newspaper (McNeil, D. 2010)
