If you are using an in-text citation for a book, the following information needs to be put in parentheses:
- the author's last name
- the page number
To determine what information needs to be put in parentheses for an in-text citation for a book, you can refer to the specific citation style you are using, such as APA or MLA.
In general, common elements to include in parentheses for an in-text citation of a book include:
1. Author's name: The author's last name is typically included in parentheses. However, depending on the citation style, you may also need to include the author's initials or first name.
2. Book's title: The book's title is generally not included in parentheses for an in-text citation, as it is usually mentioned in the introductory sentence or elsewhere in the text.
3. Page number: If you are directly quoting or paraphrasing information from a specific page or range of pages in the book, it is common to include the page number(s) in parentheses after the author's name.
Publisher information is typically not included in the in-text citation itself but may be included in the reference list or bibliography at the end of your paper.
It is important to note that different citation styles have specific guidelines and variations for formatting in-text citations, so consulting the appropriate style guide or referencing tool recommended by your institution is recommended for accurate and consistent citations.
