In-text citations, also known as parenthetical citations, are used when you refer to, quote, or paraphrase a source listed in your Works Cited page. The parenthetical citation is placed immediately after the reference, quote, or paraphrase. It is placed between parentheses and tells your reader as briefly and as clearly as possible which work you are referring to, quoting, or paraphrasing.
Parenthetical citation example:
Over 200 executions have been stopped due to new DNA testing methods (Smith)
Work Cited Page:
1.Author, if available (last name, first name)
2.Title of the article, in quotation marks
3.Title of complete work or organization, italicized
4.Medium (Web)
5.Date of visit
6.URL, in angle brackets
Make sure to use a hanging indent Title the page: Works Cited, not bold or different fonts/sizes. Single space within entry, double space between entries

Do we put the works cited info on the same page as the essay?
It goes directly after the fact you just stated. So write your essay and if youfind a sentence that you got with information from a website put it write after the end of that informational sentence.
Do you put the quote it quotation marks or no?
If you have no author, and the first word in the citation is "The", do you put it as the parenthetical citation in the essay? The next word is "Death", but it is for almost every other one too, so i'm not sure what to do
Sarah...good answer.....only use quotes if it is an exact word for word quote of the source......if no author use the title, or the first three words of it if it is long as the parenthetical citation.
