8. Guidelines for Parenthetical Documentation Works by one author – give the authors last name in parentheses at the end of a sentence or quote, followed by the page number. “Klein Forest students are wonderful” (Trochesset 2).

9. Cont. If you mention the author’s name in the sentence preceding the quote, you need only provide the page number of the work. Ms. Trochesset says, “Klein Forest students are wonderful” (2).

10. Works by more than one author List all the names in parentheses, or give one last name followed by et al. “……….” (Smith, Jones, and Wilcox 87). “……….” (Smith et al. 87).

11. Works with no author listed When citing an article that does not identify the author, use the title of the work, or a shortened version of it. “……..” (“Civil War Memoirs” 398). “……..” (“War vs. Peace”).

12. Two works by the same author If you use more than one book or article by the same author, give the title, of a shortened version, after the author’s last name. “……..” (Jones, War Novels 162). “……..” (Jones, “War of the Century”).
