Parenthetical Citations • What is it? • A little note that let’s me know which resource that fact or idea came from. • Where does it go? • At the end of the quoted, paraphrased, or summarized fact or idea (right here). BEFORE THE PERIOD!
Parenthetical Citations • What goes in it? • The first word of the citation, usually the author’s last name, and the page number where that fact or idea came from. Example: “William Byrd was the leading composer during the English Renaissance” (Blume 15).
Parenthetical Citations Another Example: “The lute has a half pear shaped body” (“Lute”). Why is there no page number?
