APA Parenthetical Citations
Parenthetical citation when author is mentioned in the text:Why we include parenthetical/in-text citations
Researchers include brief parenthetical citations in their writing to acknowledge references to other
publication. Page numbers are also included when citing a direct quote .If some of this information is included in the body of the sentence, exclude it from the parenthetical
citation. In-text citations typically appear at the end of the sentence, between the last word and the period.
