Below, please find APA Guidelines and Tips. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

What is a parenthetical citation right after the material you cited?

It is when you place the source in parenthesis ( ) right after the sentence you cited instead of waiting until the end of the paper.
It helps the reader to know exactly what sentences and paragraphs are taken from particular sources.

Example: Place the author’s name and the source’s date of publication in parentheses immediately after the end of the cited material.

* An employer is one who employs or uses others to do his or her work, or to work (Bennet-Alexander, Hartman, p. 11)

* Families with no telephone service have difficulty accessing social services for which they are qualified (Benton Foundation, 1998, chap. 2, “Societal Priorities”).
