For citing in-text quotations, the basic format is the author-date system within parentheses, for example: (Larson, 2003)
If you reference the author's name within your sentence, you only need to put the year within parentheses, for example: Brinkman and Jedinak (2014) argue the importance for young girls to have 'female superheroes' as role models.
If there are 3 or more authors you list use et al. for the citation.
Aside from citing parenthetically, you should also include a References page at the end of your paper.
