Research Question

If I am consulting two different sources while writing one paragraph, how do I keep from citing after every sentence? That makes reading the paper cumbersome. I'm using APA style citations.

I suppose it depends a little on what length the paragraph is but I would tend to regard the first citation for each in the paragraph as the only essential one. After that only cite when its not clear which source you're talking about

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

I would say "According to Goofball[21] and Jackleg[33], blah blah rest of paragraph" because I don't think its a big deal if someone just happens to need to know exactly where to find one single fact and they have to check two sources.

I like that idea, too. Thanks!
