APA Style - Citations

The references should be:

• At the end of your paper

• After each section of your paper

• Inside the Text

• After the title

Not all of the citations need to be in the reference page, only the most important ones.

• True

• False

In references and citations, we put the last name of the author first, followed by the initials of the first and middle names: Surname, Initial. Initial.

In this case, the author Marie Lee Riddley would become:

In case you have multiple authors:

Surname, Initial. Initial., Surname, I. I. & Surname, I. I.

With this in mind, how would the following authors be referenced?

Marie Lee Riddley, John Michael Smith, Alexander Granger, Kate Merchant O'Malley.

The reference list should be in which order?

• There is no particular order

• Chronological

• The same order in which they appear in the text

• Alphabetical

When paraphrasing, you don't need to cite your source.

• True

• False

In-text direct quotes should have their source in parenthesis, include the author's last name, date of publication, and page.

In-text citations don't vary depending on source type, but reference list citations are highly variable.
