Johns, Chris Elizabeth Carney.
Directions: Parenthetical documentation exercise. Read the
following chart about how to do parenthetical documentation.
Use of Authors' Names
Always mention the author's name—either in the text itself or in the parenthetical citation—unless no author is
provided.
If the author's name is mentioned in the text
If the author's name is used in the text introducing the source material, then cite the page number(s) in parentheses:
Branscomb argues that "it's a good idea to lurk (i.e., read all the messages without contributing anything) for a few
weeks, to ensure that you don't break any of the rules of netiquette" (7) when joining a listserv.
If the author's name is not mentioned in the text
If the author's name is not used in the sentence introducing the source material, then include the author's last name
in the parenthetical citation before the page number(s). Note that no comma appears between the author's name and
the page number(s).
The modern world requires both the ability to concentrate on one thing and the ability to attend to more than one
thing at a time: "Ideally, each individual would cultivate a repertoire of styles of attention, appropriate to different
situations, and would learn how to embed activities and types of attention one within another" (Bateson 97).
If no author is identified
If a source does not include an author's name, substitute for the author's name the title or an abbreviated title in the
text or parenthetical citation. Underline the title if the source is a book; if the source is an article, use quotation
marks:
The use of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems has grown substantially over the past five years as
companies attempt to adapt to customer needs and to improve their profitability ("Making CRM Work").
Directions: Using the Works cited example below, write correct
parenthetical citations/documentations for each example. You are filling in
what information goes into the parentheses at the end of each sentence.
