When citing a specific part of a research paper in text, you should include the authors' last names, the year of publication, and the page number if necessary. Based on the information provided for the article titled "In vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Tithonia diversifolia Leaf Extracts on Bacterial Isolates from Wound Infections from a Nigerian Hospital," here are some examples of in-text citation quotes:
1. Paraphrased or summarised information:
- According to Ogunfolaka et al. (2010), Tithonia diversifolia leaf extracts demonstrated noteworthy antimicrobial activity against bacterial isolates from wound infections.
- The study revealed that the leaf extracts were effective against the bacterial isolates tested (Ogunfolaka et al., 2010).
2. Direct quotes:
- "The antimicrobial activity of Tithonia diversifolia leaf extracts was evident against a variety of bacterial isolates" (Ogunfolaka et al., 2010, p. 306).
- Ogunfolaka et al. (2010) found that "the leaf extracts inhibited the growth of several bacterial strains, indicating their potential as an alternative treatment for wound infections" (p. 307).
Ensure you adjust the page numbers based on the actual content you are citing from the respective pages of the research paper. If the publication includes direct page numbers for specific quotes or information, these should be included in the citation. However, if citing general findings or paraphrasing, page numbers may not always be necessary.
