When synthesizing ideas or claims that are repeated in multiple texts, cite all the sources of that information in a parenthetical citation after your summary of the information. Each source is placed within the parentheses in alphabetical order according to the first author of each source. Format the citation as you normally would but add a semicolon between each source.
