works using parentheses in the body of your paper. The basic format is (Last name, Year) in APA and (Last Name Page) in MLA.
• If the author is named in the sentence, only include the year (APA) or page (MLA) in parentheses.
• For direct quotes, include the page number (Last name, Year, p. #) in APA. Always include the page in MLA.
• The period comes after the closed parentheses.
