Question

What are characteristics of in text citations

Answer 1

Answer:

The two key features of an MLA-style in-text citation are the following: The in-text citation generally requires the author's last name and the page number (if available) from which the cited information comes (unless the author's name is evident from the context, in which case a page number is all that is required).

Answer 2

In most
circumstances, the in-text citation consists of only the author's last name and the page number within
parentheses. If the author's last name is written in the sentence, then only the page number is required in the
in-text citation.
