*Citation Tips*

  • Always capitalize proper nouns, including author names and initials: ex. J. Gifford
  • If you are quoting directly from a source you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quote.   There are two main ways to do this:
    • Introduce the quotation with a phrase before the quote that includes the author’s last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.
      • According to Jones (1998), “Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time” (p. 199). 
    • If the author is not named in a phrase before the quote, 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), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.
    • If there are multiple authors, list all of the authors and the year.
      • According to Sokoll, Tragert, & Twohig (2016), “Reading is awesome” (p.1).
      • They stated, “Reading is awesome” (Sokoll, Tragert, and Twohig, 2016, p.1).
