Therefore, the author needs to be included in the parenthetical citation. Also, needed in the parenthetical citation is the location where the information was found. This information was found on page 38. The author's name comes before the page number because the author's name is what will be used first when determining the source of the information. The reader would look for the author in the Works Cited page, then need to acquire the source before turning to page 38. It's also important that the parenthetical information be inside the period with the rest of the cited information. This connects everything together.
