Include a parenthetical citation when you refer to, summarize, paraphrase, or quote from another source. The parenthetical citation must be placed immediately after your source.
Any source information that you provide in your parenthetical citation MUST correspond to the source information on the Reference page. Specifically, whatever word or phrase you include in your parenthetical citation, MUST be the first word(s) that appears at the beginning of the corresponding entry on the Reference page.
When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation.
