How to Introduce Evidence

How to Introduce Your Evidence

Quotes and Evidence cannot simply be placed into a paper. See below.

Poor Example:

Evidence: “For every 1 female protagonist in video games, there are 27 male protagonists.” – Jake Tapor CNN

Evidence must be introduced to the reader by including the author and source for which the quote belongs.

Good Examples:

According to CNN’s Jake Tapor, “For every 1 female protagonist in video games, there are 27 male protagonists.”

Jake Tapor from CNN.com explains how, “For every 1 female protagonist in video games, there are 27 male protagonists.”
