1. The source is introduced by a signal phrase that includes the last name of the author and the first initial of their first name followed by the date of publication in parentheses
2. The material being cited is followed by a locator (page number (p.#), paragraph, heading) in parentheses
3. At the end of the paper, an alphabetized list of references gives publication information for each source

In references, the title is not capitalized except for the first letter, and there are no quotation marks
