Begin your citation with an open bracket following the sentence containing the paraphrases or references. Write the surname of the first author you wish to cite followed by a comma. Write the year of publication for the first source.
Separate your sources within the parenthetical reference with a semicolon.
Write the surname of the second author you wish to cite followed by a comma. Write the year of publication for the second source. End your parenthetical reference with a close bracket followed by the appropriate punctuation.
Order your authors alphabetically in your parenthetical citation. For example, add this to the end of your sentence: (Brown, 2007; Jackson, 1998). If the two authors you are citing have the same surname, use a first initial with each and alphabetize by the initial.
Create separate entries in your list of References for each source. Begin each entry with the surname listed in your parenthetical reference to allow the reader to easily locate the complete citations for sources you cite in the body of your paper.
