Study Notes
In-Text Citations in APA
- In-text citations are used to briefly document the source of information in the body of the writing.
- They guide the reader to more complete information in the reference list at the end of the paper.
- There are two main ways to cite a source: narrative and parenthetical.
Narrative Citation
- Narrative citation is when you write out the author's last name/s as you write their quote, paraphrase, or summarize their work.
- The author's name appears in the sentence, and the year of publication follows it.
- APA style does not require page or paragraph numbers for paraphrases or summaries.
Parenthetical Citation
- Parenthetical citations include the author(s) and the date of publication within parentheses.
- Use the author-date citation method with parentheses.
- Add parentheses containing the author's name, the year of publication, and the page number(s) after a quote.
When to Use Citations
- Cite whenever you present a fact that is not common knowledge.
- Use "and" between the authors' names within the text.
- Use the ampersand in parentheses.
Paraphrasing with Multiple Authors
- For three or more authors, list only the first author's last name followed by "et al."
- Only include the first author's last name, followed by "et al.", a comma, and the year of publication.
Direct Quotation
- A direct quote is a piece of text copied word-for-word from a source.
- No period after the parentheses.
Block Quotation
- A block quotation is a long quotation that is set apart from the rest of the text.
- The quotation is indented and formatted differently.
In-Text Citation for Webpages and Journal Articles
- For webpages, include the author/group/organization name, date, title of page, subtitle, website name, and URL.
- For journal articles, follow the same format as books and eBooks.
- Use the same format for paraphrases, summaries, and quotations.
