You can cite the statement in a complete sentence like this:
According to Siktus Harson in an article from the Union of Catholic Asian News, "it's feared that being jobless for a long time, without any income, will drive more people, even the educated ones, into criminality" (2022).
In MLA style, you can cite the statement in a complete sentence like this:
According to Siktus Harson in his article for the Union of Catholic Asian News, "it's feared that being jobless for a long time, without any income, will drive more people, even the educated ones, into criminality" (Harson).
Make sure to include a Works Cited entry for the full reference:
Harson, Siktus. "Title of the Article." Union of Catholic Asian News, 28 Feb. 2022, [URL if available].
Thank you for providing the title. Here's how you can cite it in MLA style:
In-text citation:
According to Siktus Harson in his article for the Union of Catholic Asian News, "it's feared that being jobless for a long time, without any income, will drive more people, even the educated ones, into criminality" (Harson).
Works Cited entry:
Harson, Siktus. "Fighting Unemployment is Papua New Guinea's Biggest Battle." Union of Catholic Asian News, 28 Feb. 2022, [URL if available].
Make sure to replace [URL if available] with the actual URL of the article if you're citing it from an online source.
According to Siktus Harson in his article titled "Fighting Unemployment is Papua New Guinea's Biggest Battle," published in the Union of Catholic Asian News on February 28, 2022, "it's feared that being jobless for a long time, without any income, will drive more people, even the educated ones, into criminality" (Harson).
The sentence you provided is almost correct, but it seems like you are trying to cite a source without directly quoting or paraphrasing it from Siktus Harson's work. The citation should refer specifically to ideas or information drawn from the article.
If you're citing Harson's idea that the team is responsible for information from the web, it could be phrased better to reflect that. Here’s a revised version:
According to Siktus Harson, "our entire team is responsible for the information from the web" (2022).
Make sure to have a corresponding Works Cited entry for the source as well:
Harson, Siktus. "Fighting Unemployment is Papua New Guinea's Biggest Battle." Union of Catholic Asian News, 28 Feb. 2022, [URL if available].
If you are making a general statement based on Harson's ideas but not quoting directly, it might look like this:
According to Siktus Harson, the responsibility for the information obtained from the web lies with the entire team (2022).
Please ensure the context is clear on whether you are quoting or paraphrasing to use the correct citation.
Your sentence is close, but it does not fully align with standard citation practices in MLA format. In MLA, you typically do not include the year in in-text citations. Instead, you would include the author's last name in parentheses.
If you are quoting or paraphrasing the statement, here’s how you can revise it:
"Our family is the best one to go for love and happiness" (Harson).
If this is intended to be a paraphrase or a direct quotation, you would also need to provide a corresponding Works Cited entry to give full credit to the source:
Harson, Siktus. "Fighting Unemployment is Papua New Guinea's Biggest Battle." Union of Catholic Asian News, 28 Feb. 2022, [URL if available].
If you wish to keep the original structure of your sentence, you might modify it as follows:
According to Siktus Harson, "our family is the best one to go for love and happiness."
This way, you provide a clear attribution without including the year in the citation.
