Question

When providing two or more authors' names in a parenthetical citation, use "and" to join the names, not the ampersand symbol. For example, (Doe, Jones, and Faulkner, 2000, p. 12).
A. True

B. False

Answer 1

Answer: B. False

Explanation: Parenthetical citations are citations or notes that allow readers to know the original sources that appear in the body of your paper. Hence there won't be need for end notes or foot notes.

One of the rules of parenthetical citations concerning the ampersand and 'and' where two or more authors are involved is

1. You use 'and' to separate the last names if you mentioned the authors’ names in a sentence (in-text).

2. You use ampersand (&) to separate the last names if you place the authors’ names in the parenthetical citation.

Hence the answer to the question is false.
