In-text/Embedded Citation (sometimes called parenthetical) You can cite within the text of your paper in several ways including within a sentence or at the end of a sentence. For a direct quote, include page number. All works cited must appear in the reference list at the end of your paper. Below are some examples of in-text/embedded citation: Baker (2003) found that education was even more important than health care. "Results from early research indicated that a stable government fosters democratization" (Smith, Fowler, and Evans 2003:26). Use notes to explain or expand text or to clarify a table. Designate notes with sequential numbers and list them in an endnotes section at the end of the body of the text, preceding the reference list. For examples, see ASA Style Guide. Albert S.
