at the beginning of a paragraph
say my sentence is like this
"Johnson (2002) suggested......"
i already referenced this using parentheical citation, but do I have to cite again for the other sentences in that paragraph? (those other sentences were also ideas of Johnson)

No, just cite the page in parenthesis at the end of the sentence). Normally you would say "yada yada yada (Johnson, 34)." (With the period INSIDE the quotes if you're using a direct quote and AFTER the parentheis). But if you already stated the name, you would just say "Johnson says yada yada yada (34)."

I'm glad you know to cite paraphrasing. So many people in my college still get in trouble because they think paraphrasing is technically their own words. It's always better to over-cite then under-cite.

Good luck on your paper.

You don't have to cite it again if you make clear that you are still quoting him/her. If you paraphrase without making clear that you're using the same source, then cite them. Ex: "He/She also claims..." doesn't require additional citation, assuming that it comes from the same work. Another article, even if it is by the same author, requires appropriate citation. Good luck.

Depends on what format you have to use. for example, MLA or APA. I still have not figured that one out.
