    Study Notes

    APA Citation Format

    • APA (American Psychological Association) and MLA (Modern Language Association) are citation styles
    • APA is used for social sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, linguistics)
    • MLA is used for humanities and related areas (e.g., literature)
    • APA focuses on the publication date
    • MLA focuses on authorship
    • Both formats aim for ease of presentation and comparison of research

    In-Text Citation (APA 7th Edition)

    • APA 7th edition uses an author/date system for in-text citations

    • In-text citations typically include the authors' last name and publication year

    • Examples: (De Guzman, 2018), (De Guzman & Galvez, 2018), (De Guzman, et al., 2018)

    • Use round brackets

    • If quoting directly, include page numbers. (De Guzman, 2018, pp. 25-26)

    • When a source has no author, use the title of the work. (Title of the work, 2018)

    • For sources with no publication date, use "n.d." (De Guzman, n.d.)

    • If a page number is missing, use alternative identifiers (e.g., para. 14, Chapter 3)

    Paraphrasing and Quoting (APA 7th)

    • Paraphrasing is expressing author's ideas in your own words, and acknowledging the source

    • Include the author's surname and year of publication in round brackets.

    • Examples: (De Guzman, 2018) (De Guzman & Galvez, 2018) (De Guzman et al., 2018)

    • For direct quotes under 40 words, integrate the quote into the sentence and place quotes, (e.g. De Guzman (2018) concludes that "...)

    • For quotes over 40 words, indent the entire quote block, place it on a new line, and remove quotation marks.
