When I have tow sentences following each other, from the same resources… do I cite the resource for both?

Question

Simple made up example:
Asia is the biggest content in the world (Smith, 1998). It is the Northern Hemisphere (Smith, 1998).

I don't want to join the sentences coz they are long and complicated, and I don't want to say "according to" coz I've used that plenty of times.

Answer 1

If the two sentences are consecutive in the source, you CAN quote them together and cite the passage just once, However, if you'd rather not, then put some transition of your own before the second one, and cite each one separately.

Answer 2

Well, for this sentence, I would write "Asia, located in the Northern Hemisphere, is the biggest continent in the world. (Smith 1998)

This is the problem with doing the citations within the paper itself. Footnoting here would be much more effective.

If you have two sentences in a row that you are putting quotations around and citing, then just do the citation at the end of the second.

If you are using two sentences in a row in your paper - but they came from different areas of the resource, then you would do this "Asia is the biggest continent in the world...It is in the Northern Hemisphere." (Smith, 1998)

The 3 dots (...) known as the elipses notates the fact that you have chosen to take some content out and is fairly common in citing resources.

Answer 3

Depends on what you tow them with!!
