I type citations for a living in the legal world. If you're going to separate the citations within parentheses, then they should stand alone, with the punctuation inside the parentheses and a period at the end of the preceding sentence.Originally posted by aly
You still need to move the periods to the outsides of the parenthesis.
For example... this sentence:
While pregnant eating an unhealthy diet or not consuming proper vitamins essential for the babies growth can cause fetal malnutrition. (Craig, Kermis, Digdon 2002)
Should look like this:
While pregnant, eating an unhealthy diet or not consuming proper vitamins essential for the babies growth can cause fetal malnutrition. (Craig, Kermis, Digdon 2002.)
(I added a comma after "While pregnant" and a period after the end parenthesis)
