List the last name of the author and the page number in parentheses to form your in-text citation. Do not use any marks of punctuation in your citation. For example:
(Thompson 145)
Cite parenthetically within the text whenever you quote, paraphrase or summarize from another author's work. Position your citations directly after a quoted, summarized or paraphrased statement. For example:
It has been effectively argued elsewhere that Stalin had "a list of political enemies kept in his sock drawer" (Thompson 145).
Cite only the page number if you mention the name of the author in the text. For example:
Historian John Thompson has effectively argued that Stalin had "a list of political enemies kept in his sock drawer" (145).
