Signal phrase+“Insert quote here” (Parentheses).
PERIOD is always AFTER the parentheses!

4. In-text Citations with One Author from a book or article:
Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).
Have author’s last name and page number the quote came from. If there is no page number, leave it out.

5. In-text Citations for Print Sources with No Known Author
We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has “more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change ” (“Impact of Global Warming” 6).
Use an abbreviated title of the article (first three words of title) and page number

6. Citing a Work by Multiple Authors
The authors state "Tighter gun control in the United States erodes Second Amendment rights" (Moore, Smith, and Yang, 76).
List all author’s last names in alphabetical order and include the page number.

10. Works Cited Example: Bad!
