date, all enclosed by parentheses,
i.e., (Agrawal & Kamakura, 1995).

there is no need to repeat the name
in the citation; just use the year
of publication in parentheses, i.e.,
the Ohanian (1991) model.

If a particular page, section, or equation
is cited, it should be placed in parentheses,
i.e., (Agrawa & Kamakura, 1995, p.58).

multiple authors only when they
appear in parentheses.
