Formatting examples for an article with one author are outlined below. Please see Journal Article with 2 Authors, Online, and Journal Article for 3+ Authors, Online for examples of in-text citations for more than one author.

Include the author's last names as part of the sentence; include the page number in brackets. The first time the author is mentioned in text use their full name (excluding middle initials), and use their last name only after that. |
According to Christopher Martinello, "consider this a direct quote" (78). Martinello goes on to argue that this is a paraphrased sentence (79). |
