"If the author's name is mentioned in the text
Most often, an author's last name appears in the text with the date of publication immediately following in parentheses: "
O'Hara (1982) provides an interesting insite on Aristotle.
"If the author's name is not mentioned in the text
When the author's name does not appear in the text itself, it appears in the parenthetical citation followed by a comma and the date of publication:"
The contrasts and relations between these two types of questions can be heightened by introducing some new and interpretative terminology. (O'Hara, 1982).
"Note: If you cite the same source a second time within a paragraph, the year of publication may be omitted."
