Therefore, before the second quotation mark is put into place, type in the question mark. Close the quote with a second quotation mark. Type the in-text citation as needed, using parentheses to enclose the information. Somewhere in the quote, the author's last name and the page number must be indicated. This can be done by placing the author's name in the introduction to the quote or in the parenthetical citation following the quote. Page numbers should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence..
