Study Notes
Citing One vs. Multiple Authors
- When citing multiple works by the same author in the same year, list them alphabetically by title and label them (YYYYa) and (YYYYb).
- When citing multiple sources within the same parentheses, order them as they appear in the reference list and separate them with a semicolon.
Citing Within a Paragraph
- If a paragraph is primarily from one source, cite the author and date at the beginning, and you can use transitional phrases without repeating the citation unless your teacher requires it.
- If you cite an author’s name within the sentence, you don’t need to include the date in other sentences within the same paragraph, but you still need it in parenthetical citations.
- When multiple sources or your own discussion are woven into a paragraph, cite each sentence to maintain clarity for the reader.
Citing Sources Without Page Numbers
- When citing sources without page numbers, use "para." and the paragraph number. You may also include the relevant section heading, enclosed in quotation marks and shortened if needed.
- For video and audio sources, cite the timestamp; for PowerPoint presentations, use the slide number.
Citing Classical Works
- For major classical works like the Qur’an, The Odyssey, and Macbeth, use their standard numbering systems instead of page numbers.
Citing Authors in the Text
- In the body of an APA paper, use last names only for authors, even on first reference.
- Don't include titles like "Jr." or academic degrees.
- Use first and last names only if necessary to distinguish between two sources.
Citing Works Without an Author
- Use the first words of the title for sources without a known author.
- Italicize titles of periodicals, books, and reports; use quotation marks for article titles.
Citing Works with Multiple Authors
- For sources with two authors, cite both every time.
- For sources with three or more authors, cite the first author's name with "et al."
- In narrative citations with two authors, write out "and"; in parenthetical citations, use "&".
Citing Group Authors
- When citing an organization as the author, spell out its full name on the first reference.
- If the organization is well-known or will be cited at least two more times, an abbreviation (in parentheses) follows the full name and replaces it in subsequent citations.
