Look at which information comes first in order to create a parenthetical (in-text citation). See research packet for more info!
This source begins with an author name. Take the author’s last name only, and search the rest of the citation for a page number. If there is none, simply use the author’s last name.
Parenthetical citation: (O’Brien)

8. Parenthetical (in-text) citations (This info is in your research packet)
Author and page #:
(Martinez 5)
For websites, you don’t usually have a page number:

Sometimes you don’t have an author either! Use an abbreviated title of the article:
(“Pollution”)
…because the IDEA is not yours!
