List the last author's last name, the year of publication and the page number you are citing within parentheses. For example:
(Grant, 2001, p. 46)
Position your citation directly after the quoted or paraphrased passage. For example:
One author stated at the time that the U.S. federal deficit was "like a pump without a well" (Grant, 2001, p. 46).
Omit the author's name from the parenthetical citation if you have already mentioned it in the text. This situation requires you to split your citation so that the year of publication appears after the author's name, and the page number appears after the quoted passage. For example:
Grant (2001), a contemporary observer, stated that the U.S. federal deficit was "like a pump without a well" (p. 46).
Follow this format if you are listing a book as a reference:

If the book is edited, insert this information after the title. For example:

If a book is translated, list this information in parentheses after the title. For example:

List edition information after the title if applicable. For example:

For example:

To cite an article from a newspaper, list the full date of publication, and precede the page numbers with "p." for one page, and "pp." for more than one page. Inclusive page numbers should be separated with a comma instead of a hyphen. For example:
