Parenthetical Documentation
When you write a research paper, credit for information must be given by listing the sources you used in a Works Cited. Credit must also be given within the writing of the paper itself. Parenthetical documentation is the way we give credit within the paper. A citation within the paper is called a parenthetical reference.
Parenthetical documentation:
1. Is placed within the research paper
2. Gives specific details about the information used
3. Is used when you paraphrase, summarize facts, or quote
A parenthetical reference:
1. Is brief - the author's last name, or a shortened form of
the title, and the page number, if pages are numbered
2. Must clearly match a Works Cited entry
3. Is placed right after the information, usually at the end of
a sentence or paragraph
4. Is in parentheses () before the closing punctuation mark
