In-Text Citations

APA Style uses parenthetical, author-date citations. After a quote, add parentheses containing the author's name, the year of publication, and the page number of the work.

Example: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" (Seuss, 2007, pp. 7-8).

If you use more than one work by the same author, use the letters a, b, etc., after the year.

Example: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" (Seuss, 2007a, pp. 7-8).

If more than one author has the same last name, add their first initial.

Example: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" (D. Seuss, 2007, pp. 7-8).

If two or more authors wrote the work, see the chart below.

If using the author's name in your text, do not include it in the parentheses.

Example: In his scholarly study, Dr. Seuss observed that "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" (2007, pp. 7-8).
Example: In 2007, Dr. Seuss suggested that "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" (pp. 7-8).

If no author name is available, use the first few words of the reference list entry (usually the title). Use quotation marks around titles of articles or web pages and italicize titles of books, periodicals, etc.

Example: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" (Fox in Socks, 2007).

If no pagination information is available, use paragraph numbers instead.

Example: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" (Seuss, 2007, para. 5).

Note: When paraphrasing or mentioning another work, it is helpful to still provide pagination information if the source text is long or difficult, or if it would help the reader find the text being paraphrased.

Citing articles from databases

How do I cite articles from the library’s databases?

Most of the library’s databases provide complete citations in either MLA or APA style. Look for a button that says “Cite this article” or “Citation Tool” on the opening screen of your selected article. If the database you are using doesn’t have this feature (a few do not), use the information on the opening screen to fill in the blanks in Citation Machine.

Hanging indent for works cited and reference lists

What is a “hanging indent” and how do I use it?

A hanging indent means that every line in your citation

after the first one is indented. This is easy to do in Microsoft Word.  Before you start typing, go to the Paragraph Dialog Box, click the downward arrow, select Special in the Indentation section, and select hanging.  If you have already typed it up, simply highlight your text and invoke the hanging indent for the highlighted text.

Don't forget to double space and use 12 pt type (or whatever your professor requests).
