Right after the quote.
Avoid using parenthetical citations when the source is clearly indicated within the text or when the information is common knowledge. Additionally, parenthetical citations are not necessary when including a full citation in a bibliography or works cited page at the end of the document.
A parenthetical citation is an in-text reference that follows a quote or paraphrased passage, referring to a full citation of the work in a list that follows the article or chapter. An example would be (Jones, 2010) which corresponds to a 2010 book or article by someone named Jones, with complete information in the references list. (See related APA style link below for more information.)
In MLA style, in-text citations, called parenthetical citations, are used to document any external sources used within a document (unless the material cited is considered general knowledge). The parenthetical citations are used to direct readers to the full bibliographic citations listed in the Works Cited, located at the end of the document. In most cases, the parenthetical citations include the author's last name and the specific page number for the information cited.
To ensure you are using APA style for in-text citations by including the same citation in the same paragraph, make sure to place the citation immediately after the information you are referencing from that source. This helps to clearly attribute the information to the correct source and maintain proper citation practices.
When citing a source with no author in parenthetical citations, use the title of the source in quotation marks followed by the page number (if available). For example: ("Title of Source" page number).
There are 2 types of citation, first in-text format citation and second is the parenthetical citation. Parenthetical citation format is something that is different then in-text citation format; here you would be incorporating the name of the author at the end of the sentence from the source. Parenthetical citation is located between the end quotation and the period for direct quotes.
When citing a source with no author in a parenthetical citation, use the title of the source in quotation marks followed by the page number (if available). For example, ("Title of Source" page number).
Parenthetical citations can be made in a variety of different ways based on the amount of information you have on your source in the works cited. The most common parenthetical citations are formed by using the author's last name and the page number on which the information was found. Example: (Miller 54)
Parenthetical citation is typically used when the source information is directly quoted or paraphrased within the text, while narrative citation is used when the author's name is integrated into the sentence. Use parenthetical citation when the source information needs to be clearly attributed without interrupting the flow of the writing.
