Examples of proper citations for your paper

The author wrote, “Here is a good example of a sentence with a direct quotation.” (Jones, 98) Then you begin your next sentence without any punctuation following the citation.

If you are citing an idea, but are not using the author’s words because you are paraphrasing the material, you should follow the above example, but the quotation marks are not required.
Use two quotations per paragraph.
