What is an example of a parenthetical citation?

If the information derived from more than one page in the work, format page numbers just as you do in an MLA Works Cited. Examples: 3-4; 5-15; 23-29; 431-39; 497-503. If you list the name of the author, the parenthetical citation need only contain the page number.

How do you format a direct quote?

Start the quotation on a new line, with the entire quote indented ½ inch from the left margin while maintaining double-spacing. Your parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark. When quoting verse, maintain original line breaks. (You should maintain double-spacing throughout your essay.)

How do you format a long quote in APA?

Long quotations Place direct quotations that are 40 words or longer in a free-standing block of typewritten lines and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin, i.e., in the same place you would begin a new paragraph.
