In-Text Citations
APA In-text citation basics
· When using APA 7th ed. format, follow the author-date- (and page number when applicable) method of in-text citation.
· All sources that are cited in the text must have a complete reference at the end of the paper and any source listed on the reference page must have a corresponding in-text citation.
· The sentence punctuation always appears after the closed parenthesis. This is to show that the in-text citation belongs to that exact statement.
· If possible, cite an electronic document using the author-date style.
· If a date cannot be found, use “n.d.” for no date.
· If the source does not have any page numbers, identify the location of the quoted material by paragraph (para), for example: (Jones, 1998, para. 3).
Direct Quotes: When using word-for-word quoted material from an outside source, refer to the author(s), year of publication, and the page number (or paragraph number). For example:
· (Smith, 2018, p. 3).
· (Smith, 2018, para. 7).
Introduce direct quotations with a signal phrase:
· According to Jones (2018), “Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time” (p. 199).
If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author’s last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation:
· She stated, “Students often had difficulty using APA style” (Jones, 1998, p. 199).
Long direct quotations: Use long quotations sparingly, and only if the language is so exact/perfect that it must be used within your work. Place direct quotations that are 40 words or longer in a free-standing block of typewritten lines and omit quotation marks, double space. Start the quotation on a new line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin. The parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark.
Indirect Quotes (summaries and paraphrases): If you are referring to an idea from another work, but NOT directly quoting the material, you only must refer to the author and year of publication and not the page number in your in-text citation. For example:
· (Smith, 2018).
Number of authors to include in the in-text citation:
· The format of the author element of the in-text citation changes depending on the number of authors—it is abbreviated in some cases.
· For a work with one or two authors, include the authors name(s) in every citation, using a & between the names, for example: (Jones & Smith, 2019).
· For a work with three or more authors, include only the name of the first author plus “et al.” in every citation—including the first, for example: (Williams et al., 2019).
· In parenthetical citations, use an ampersand (&) between names
· In narrative citations, spell out the word “and”
Organization as an Author: If the author is an organization or a government agency, mention the organization in the signal phrase or in the parenthetical citation the first time you cite the source. If the organization has a well-known abbreviation, include the abbreviation in brackets the first time the source is cited and then use only the abbreviation in later citations.
· First citation: (National Institutes of Health [NIH], 2020)
· Second citation: (NIH, 2020)
Unknown or Anonymous Author: For works with an unknown author, include the title and year of publication in the in-text citation (note that the title moves to the author [position in the reference list entry as well). For example:

· (E. Robbins, personal communication, January 4, 2001).
Citing Indirect Sources: If you use a source that was cited in another source, name the original source in your signal phrase. List the secondary source in your reference list and include the secondary source in the parentheses.
