APA STYLE 7TH EDITION EXAMPLES: Part 1

2 Ways to Cite:

• reporting - using own words by summarizing or paraphrasing

• quoting - using exact quotes of the author

Surname and year of pub are used to credit the author:

• Narrative/Integral Citation - placed in beginning of sentence; use reporting verbs (e.g. argues, asserts, states, discussed, acc. to)

• ! Using according to gives more importance to the fact and not the author. You’re supposed to give importance to the author.

• Parenthetical/ Non-Integral Citation - placed within or end of the sentence; surname and year of pub are placed inside of parenthesis

Importance of locator (like page (p.), or paragraph (para.))

1. part of direct quotation

2. help readers locate the sited words(in video)

3. Provides clear boundary of ideas borrowed and writers idea

• ! your paragraphs should not be a compilation of citations

Citing a secondary source- using the cited works of the cite we are using

3 or more authors can use “et al.” on both narrative and integral (in 7th edition)

Sources with the same author and date should be followed with letter a,b, …
