What punctuation or abbreviations are used regularly in an in-text citation? author's initials p. for page comma between author and page none of these

None of these.

Explanation:

In an in-text citation for any academic or research writing, it is pertinent to follow the rules and regulations laid out. And such rules were made by numerous organizations/ associations, among which is the commonly accepted and used style Modern Language Association (MLA) Style.

An in-text citation means the inclusion of any text from a primary source. This inclusion or 'quotation' of the source should be done in such a way that it clearly gives credit to the original author from which the source or quote has been taken. As such, some rules regarding in-text citations are that the author's last name will come first, then followed by the first names and so on. Also, there should be a comma between the names, for example, Wright, Robin S.

Then, there is the issue of having more than one author. So, when there are more than three authors, the word "et al". And page numbers for any direct quotations must have the format of the writer's last name and followed by the page number. Example, Wright 235.[For MLA style]

Thus, the correct answer is none of the above given options.
