Indirect Quotes or References to Material

• When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
• Every source cited in the text should appear on your reference list and every item on your reference list should be cited in your paper.
• If you are referring to an idea from another work but NOT directly quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book, article or other work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication and not the page number in your in-text reference. All sources that are cited in the text must appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
  • Example: (Black, 2014)

Direct Quotes

• If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by "p."). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name, followed by the date of publication in parentheses..
  • Example: According to Peshori (2015), "In India it was the Kautilya who was the first economist who openly recognized the need of the forensic accountants" (p. 28). 
  • OR: (Peshori, 2015, p. 28)

Narrative Citations

• If you are including the citation as part of the narrative of your paper, you don't have to put an additional citation at the end of your sentence. 
  • Example: Smith (2018) found...,
