MLA in-text citations
Citations in the text of your paper are most often made up of a signal phrase introducing information you have taken from the source (a quotation, summary, paraphrase, or fact). The signal phrase usually includes the author’s name. A parenthetical reference comes after the cited material, often at the end of the sentence. It includes at least a page number (except for unpaginated sources, such as those found on the Web).
