Parenthetical Citations with MLA
First, find a quality source to cite.
Source
Highlight or make note of any exact quotes, statistics, or other information you want to use.

Works Cited

adolescent alcohol consumption on any adult outcome" (2).
This allows your readers to access the original source for their own research.
