As you write your research paper, each time you use a note card, cite the source in parentheses. This is known as a parenthetical reference. At the end of every quotation, paraphrase, and summary write the author's name and page number in parentheses. For example, if it is from a book write (Smith 65). If it is from a newspaper or magazine, write (Smith A1) or (Smith 15). The period goes outside the parentheses.
If there is no author, put the title in quotation marks in parentheses. For example ("Animal Shelters"). Do not put the URL or anything ending in .com, or .net, or .org!
