When writing research papers, “you should always cite your sources” (“Ideology” 22). This prevents plagiarism. There are many students that “do not realize that their paraphrases are actually plagiarism because they do not use parenthetical documentation,” but this can be prevented by using direct quotes instead (American Experience 25). One way many students avoid stealing others’ works is by keeping “documentation throughout the research process” (Junge). Without it, a writer may forget where he or she found the information and accidentally plagiarize.

17. Parenthetical Documentation
In parentheses, you will list the author’s last name or article title of the citation from which you pulled the quote.
If it is from a print source, you must also list the page number.
Place the citation after the quotation marks inside the parentheses.
The parentheses go before the end punctuation.
Example: “Research is awesome” (Purdue)!
Example: “Students who score low on tests would benefit from tutoring” (Gillespie 43).

18. Parenthetical Documentation
Embedding quotes: Your sentences should be a combination of your own words and direct quotes. Make sure you put the citation after the quote at the end of your sentence.
