What do parenthetical references look like in an actual research paper?

 

            In the eye, light passes through the lens and is projected on to the retina (Baines 34). The retina is a membrane on the back of the eye, acting as a sort of wall of the eye (Baines 36). On the retina there are over one hundred thirty million cells called rods and cones (Baines 36). There are about one hundred twenty five million rods on the retina and six million cones (“Eye”). The cells are each named for there relative shape. There are also two more types of cells in the retina, the bipolar cells and the ganglion cells Baines 36). Light hits the rods and cones that are light sensitive (“Eye”). The light hitting the cells cause a chemical change in the cells that creates an electrical impulse (“Eye”)….          

            The most common form of color blindness, dichromacy is also commonly referred to as red-green color blindness because red and green are the most commonly confused or unnoticed colors for those affected (“Color Vision”). There are two main types of dichromacy, protanopia and deuteranopia (Flueck, “Protanopia”). In protonopia the cones do not see long red light wave lengths (Flueck, “Protanopia”)....

            Some believe that not admitting those who are color blind into the armed forces is discrimination by not giving the disabled the same opportunities as able-bodied soldiers. While in some cases those who are color blind may be considered disabled, this does not automatically give them the right to fight in the military (Pinzler).

Congress and the courts have generally excepted the uniformed services from coverage by broad, cross cutting Federal civil rights statutory provisions such as the ADA. Rather, nondiscrimination in the uniformed services is enforced through specific antidiscrimination policies established for and implemented by the Department of (Defense and the chain of command. That physical conditions such as color blindness are disqualifying may be due no doubt to requirements related to combat-readiness (Pinzler).

In the United States the military cannot legally discriminate against any person (Pinzler). In fact, there are specific policies in place to prevent discrimination against the disabled, provided that the disability does not conflict with combat readiness (Pinzler).
