For a quotation of 39 words or fewer, place the sentence punctuation after the closing bracket of the reference: âA terrible storm started last night as I took the dog for our nightly walkâ (Jamieson, 1999, p. 12).

See What is the correct formatting in APA style for a block quotation (40+ words)? and Back to Basics with Periods for more information.
Parenthetical citations in APA style often appear at the end of sentences to indicate quoted or paraphrased information. They typically consist of the author's last name and the year of publication. Place the citation before the period at the end of the borrowed information but after quotation marks in a direct quote, as in this example: The decision belongs to the director alone (Smith, 2012).
