Writing - Example 7
Give credit to the author: complete the citation
As McEnroe astutely observes, "Circulation of light, air, and water by means of both open drains and closed conduits (i.e. piping) is a clear priority for the builders of these complexes. Concern for such circulation of the first two leads to a plethora of colonnades, light wells, clerestories, pier-and-door partitions, and windows in these structures, while concern for circulation of the last has resulted in extraordinarily complex drainage systems."
Verdict: Incomplete citation.
The author attributes the writing to "McEnroe" which must be followed by a source information.
Recommendation:
Use an in-text citation and then include the full source in the "works cited" list.(See Citation styles.)
