Parenthetical Citation

In writing a research paper, you must document EVERYTHING that you borrow – not only direct quotes and paraphrasebut also information and ideas – ANYTHING that is not yours. You MUST indicate the source of any borrowed material that readers might otherwise mistake for your own. If you do not, you are guilty of plagiarism.

You must indicate exactly where what you borrowed from each source and exactly where in the work you found the material. The most practical way to do this is to insert brief parenthetical acknowledgement in your paper wherever you incorporate another’s words, facts, or ideas. Usually, the author’s last name and page number are enough to identify the source.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN PARENTHETICAL DOCUMENTATION

  1. Documentation in the text must point to specific sources in your work cited page.
  2. When your works cited page contains only one work by the author cited, you use the author’s last name and page number to identify the work. (Beach 124).
  3. If the work has two authors, give both last names in alphabetical order ( Baker, Towery 345). If there are three or more authors, give the name of the first author followed by “et.al (Lynch et.al 98)
  4. If the work has not author, you use the title in the documentation. (“I Love Being a Teacher” 12).
  5. Omit page numbers on non-printed sources ie. internet and data base. (Jenkins).

EXAMPLES

  1. Ancient writers attributed the invention of the monochord to Pythagoras (Marcuse 137).
  2. Frye has argued this point before (12).
  3. It may be true that “in appreciation of the medieval art the attitude of the observer is of primary importance…” (Robinson 135).

SHORT QUOTE: four or less lines.

Quotation marks are around the quote

Document at the end

Punctuation after the page number

Work the quoted passage into the syntax of your sentence.
