Place your parentheses at the end of the sentence containing the information you are citing, outside quotation marks for a direct quote but inside the final punctuation. You are required to cite any information quoted directly or paraphrased from an outside source. If you fail to attribute this information, you are plagiarizing.
Type the source name inside the parentheses using these source guidelines.
For a single-authored work, put the author's last name in parentheses.
For a single-authored work where the author is named in the sentence, put only the page name in parentheses.
For a work with two or more author, put the first author's last name and second author's last name in alphabetical order.
For a work with no author, put the title of the source in either quotation marks for articles or italics for longer works.
For two works by the same author when you reference the author in the sentence, put the name of the work in either quotation marks or italics.
For an author quoted within the work of another author, put the author's last name quoted in author's or editor's last name.
For a web page, put the name of the web page in parentheses.
Type the page number where you found the phrase or paraphrased information after the source name. If there is no page number, leave it out. So, the entire parenthetical citation will read, using a single-authored work for example: (Smith 10).
Place the works cited page at the end of your paper on a page by itself.
