STEP 4: Add a parenthetical citation. This is the page (or paragraph) number on which the information appears, listed between parentheses after the citation. Also include the writer’s last name if it is NOT included in the signal phrase above (which is probably is). Remember—only last name page number. NO commas, or any other marks: ( ).
