For a in -citation did you put last name in quotes like this (Mary)

You haven't put anything in quotes.

(Mary) is enclosed in parentheses.

There's no reason to put a last name in either quotation marks or parentheses.

For MLA in text citation you put the author last name in parentheses

In parentheses, yes ~~> (Josen)

NOT in quotation marks, though.

okay thanks

So for above that how you do in text cit tons.

I have question to do I have reword
sentence because it give the definition for food the Goetta, which is made from mixed pork, beef, oaks and seasonings, packaged into a roll and then fried and severed hot. I don't want it to turn up as plagiarism in my paper?

When creating an in-text citation, the typical format is to include the author's last name in parentheses, but without using quotation marks. For example, if the author's last name is Smith, the in-text citation would look like this: (Smith, 2021). The purpose of the in-text citation is to provide a brief reference to the full citation in the reference list or bibliography.
