List the last name of the author you are citing, making sure to capitalize the first letter. For example:
Johnson
List the number of the page that you are paraphrasing. For example:
47
Arrange both pieces of information in a set of parentheses, with no punctuation between them. For example:
(Johnson 47)
Position your parenthetical citation directly after the paraphrased passage. For example:
It is likely that the crime occurred between five and seven in the evening, and that there was no murder weapon (Johnson 47).
Omit the name of the author from your citation if you have already mentioned it in the sentence. For example:
Ted Johnson has hypothesized that the crime occurred between five and seven in the evening, and that there was no murder weapon (47).
