The sentence is a direct quotation Some online communities utilize software that makes it easier to find research resources (Timmons, 2012, p.16). However there are no commas, but basing on the reference in the parenthesis, when you directly quote a sentence verbatim, you should put the surname of the author, date and page. The purpose of this is to respect the researcher and of course guide the audience on where to look specifically on the source of the quote.
