IN-TEXT CITATIONS

In-text citations are included throughout your paper to let your professor know what sources you used at specific points. In APA, the in-text citation is simply the author’s last name and year of publication. For direct quotes, using an author’s exact words, also include the page number (See 2nd example below). Follow this format:

For summarizing/paraphrasing: (Author Last Name, Year) For quoting directly: (Author Last Name, Year, p. xxx)
