I've got a quatation in a paper I'm writing and it needs to be properly referenced parenthetically. What's the proper format for that? I have the bibliography, but how do I do the in-line reference?

Something like (Author, pp. XX) ?

if the quotation is at the end of the sentece, do I put the reference before or after the period or what?


blah blah, "blah blah blah." (Author #) This is the next sentence.

or

blah blah, "blah blah blah" (Author #). This is the next sentence.

If you are referencing only one source, you can just put the page number and put a bib at the end

^^ I :heart: that thing

I'm glad it doesn't require unity log in, cause I'm going to need it during grad school. Of course for all the really important stuff I go through and make sure I've actually done things correctly, but that citation builder is great for everyday use.
