    APA Style Basics

    Below are APA citation guidelines for the two most common source types, books and journal articles.
    *For additional guidelines see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

    Citing In-Text (Within the body of your paper).


    When you are paraphrasing an idea from another work, you will make reference to the author, year of
    publication and page number. *The first time you cite a source in each paragraph, cite author, year of
    publication and page number, and the next time the same source is cited in that paragraph the date can be left
    off. When a new paragraph begins and the source is cited again, for the first time in that new paragraph, cite
    author, year of publication and page number again. In other words, you only need to have the date in the citation
    the first time a source is cited in each paragraph.

    Reference Page
    Book - APA style dictates that authors are named last name followed by initials; publication year goes between
    parentheses, followed by a period. The title of the book is in sentence-case, meaning only the first word and
    proper nouns in the title are capitalized. The periodical title is run in title case, and is followed by the volume
    number which, with the title, is also italicized. The second line of text in each citation will be indented .
    Example:
    Author, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Location: Publisher.
