Let’s look at an example of parenthetical citations within the research paper:
One study found that exposure to media images
decreases the body satisfaction in girls (Wertheim
et al 47). Researcher James Thomas states that
this body dissatisfaction occurs when “the
individual accepts societal views of ideal weight and
attractiveness and acts in a certain way to achieve
the ideal body” (93).

Here is another example of a Supporting Detail
and a parenthetical citation:
• In the book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success,
the author makes a important statement when she
states, “The developer of the IQ tests, Alfred Binet, did
not design the test to give a person a score that is the
measure of one’s intelligence” (Dweck 5).

Parenthetical Citations:
• How will you write a parenthetical citation if you already stated the
author’s name?
• Just the page number (5)
• What will you put in parenthesis if there is no author?
• The title of the article, not the website
• You may shorten this if it is a long title.
• What if it is a website without page numbers; it is just one page?
