Samples of Parenthetical Documentation and Works Cited page The sample paragraph given here has many more parenthetical documentations than would normally be found in a student paper. Every time an idea comes from a different source than the idea before it did, a new parenthetical documentation needs to be included. This paragraph uses a different source for each sentence so that more examples of how to do it can be shown. Normally there would be only one, or sometimes two, parenthetical documentations per paragraph. Color has been added to help you see the correlation between the parenthetical documentation and the information listed on the Works Cited page. Note: the information and sources used in this sample are purely fictional. SAMPLE PARAGRAPH (normally it should be double-spaced) On the CD-ROM program in our library, I found an article about chemistry that said "molecules lose their negativity as they move through the solution" ("Chemistry" 52). Another scientist, Allen R. Mueller, said these solutions become positively charged in the process (Mueller 42). According to Mueller, this is a "chemical reaction" (42). I found that this process is very useful to industry in the manufacturing of metals (Designs 73). From an encyclopedia article I learned that the by-products of this process are beneficial to both society and business ("Metals" 394). Metals such as beryllium and copper are refined in this process (395). Positively-charged solutions are also used in the production of zirconium (Zeikel ). According to my science teacher, "there will yet be many advances made in this field" (Shaw).

You'll notice that there is no page number listed for a book on the Works Cited page, but there is for magazines. There are two spaces after each period; one space after a comma; two spaces after a colon. Periods go inside quotation marks. Each piece of information and each source line ends with a period. There is a period between the name of a book and its publisher or date, but on a magazine the date follows the name of the magazine with no period or comma between. If there is a date given for when information was posted on the Internet, it is listed after the title of the page. The date you printed out or downloaded the information is given just before the address.
