Integrate Citations Without Breaking Flow

A citation dropped in raw reads like a brick in the path. Give the surrounding sentences, the source content and the required style, and this rewrites the passage so the quote or paraphrase sits inside your argument naturally, with the in-text citation formatted to APA, Harvard, MLA or whatever you need.

I am writing an academic essay and want to integrate the following source quotation or paraphrase into my argument without breaking the flow of my prose.

My current sentence context (the sentences before and after the citation): {SURROUNDING_SENTENCES}

The citation content I need to embed: {CITATION_CONTENT}

The citation style required: {CITATION_STYLE} (e.g. APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago).

Rewrite the passage so the citation is: (1) introduced with a signal phrase that identifies the author and their credibility; (2) connected logically to my argument; (3) followed by a sentence that explains what the citation adds. Do not let the quote speak for itself. Format the in-text reference correctly for {CITATION_STYLE}.
