When placing parenthetical documentation at the end of your sentence make sure you place it period or other punctuation that ends sentence?

You're absolutely right! When placing parenthetical documentation at the end of a sentence, you should place the period or other ending punctuation inside the closing parenthesis.

Example:

* "The study found that 75% of participants experienced a positive outcome. (Smith, 2023)"

Incorrect:

* "The study found that 75% of participants experienced a positive outcome. (Smith, 2023)."

* "The study found that 75% of participants experienced a positive outcome (Smith, 2023)."

This rule applies to other punctuation marks as well, such as question marks and exclamation points.
