Introduction
• APA citations is divided into two components: in-text
citations and the reference list.
• The reference list appears at the end of the document and

is used as a list of reference.
• The in-text citations uses any resource from the

document, whether it be a paraphrased idea or even a
direct quote from the author(s).
Core component of APA reference

surname + First Date of Title of Location of
name URL
• (Muslim) First name publication document publisher
+ Last Name
In-text citations
• Writers need to provide proper in-text reference whenever they are using
an idea or quoting something from an article/ document.
• In-text citations are citations of the main body of the text, this can be
either a quote taken directly or a paraphrased statement of the original
quote.
• In-text citations rely on the author’s surname and the article/ document’s
publication date. This can be done in two ways:
– Author’s surname (date of publication) : Connor (2021)

– (Author’s surname, date of publication) : (Connor, 2021)
In-text citations: Additional notes
• Dealing with two or more authors:
– Remember to put the main author first, followed by the other remaining
authors. First author holds a lot of importance in the world of writing.
– (Two authors) Put ‘&’ between the two surnames.

• Connor & Butler (2021)
• (Connor & Butler, 2021)
– (Three or more authors) First time citation MUST list down all of the authors,
any subsequent citations only has the first author’s surname followed by et al.
