A citation is an identification of one of your sources. A parenthetical citation is one that is placed in parentheses in the text of your paper, as in One critic thinks that SAT scores are very misleading (McKay 27). Such a citation would tell the reader that your information came from page 27 of a source written by McKay. Note that this is MLA format.
