Where is parenthetical citation located in text of a reasearch paper?

Parenthetical citations are typically located within the text of a research paper, immediately after the information or idea that is being cited.

Here are some general rules and examples:

* Direct Quotes: The citation appears after the closing quotation mark but before the period.

* Example: "The study found that 'students who participated in regular exercise showed significant improvements in academic performance' (Smith, 2022)."

* Paraphrased or Summarized Information: The citation appears at the end of the sentence or at the end of the paragraph if the entire paragraph is based on the same source.

* Example: A recent study found that exercise can improve academic performance (Smith, 2022).

Note:

* The exact format of the citation within the parentheses will depend on the style guide you are using (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).

* You should be consistent with your citation style throughout your paper.
