Quotations and Parentheses:
When doing body documentation you have to be very precise. Quotations marks for quotes and parentheses for documentation are a must. The correct format for the parentheses is the authors last name and the page number from where you found the information, ex: (O' Malley 209). Another must is that all in-text citations have to match the works cited page. Also, each source listed on the works cited page has to be cited atleast once within the paper. CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN ALL THE TIME, even if the information used is paraphrased or summarized. Another rule you must follow is punctuation after closed parentheses. For example, if you end a sentence with parentheses then there should always be a period at the end of the sentence. Lastly, long quotes must be indented, double spaced, and have no quotation marks.
