• (Author & Author, 2009)
Citations in Text
To cite a specific part of a source, indicate the page, chapter, figure, table, or equation at the appropriate point in text. Note that the words page and chapter are abbreviated in such text citations:
(Cheek & Buss, 1981, p. 332)(Shimamura, 1989, chap. 3)
APA pp. 208-209 (5th) pp. 174-179 (6th)
• Three, four, and five authors– Cite all of the surnames at first mention
• (Patterson, Rivers, & Timmerman, 2009)
– Each subsequent mention just the surname followed by et al.
• (Patterson et al., 2009)
• Six or more authors– Cite only the first surname followed by et al.
the first time and every time.
When to Cite Publication Date
• Per APA p. 174 in 6th edition:
Within a paragraph, when the name of the author is part of the narrative…you need not include the year in subsequent nonparenthetical references to a study.
Do include the year in all parenthetical citations.
When to Cite Publication Date
Patterson (2008) found that citing is fun. Patterson took great care in her research and is confident in this fun as truth. In fact “students really grow to love APA” (Patterson, 2008, p. 23). Patterson also found that students secretly love APA, even in the beginning.
Block Quotes
• 40 words or more
• No quotation marks
• Punctuation before the citation
• One half inch indented on the left
• Double spaced (in 6th edition)
Block Quotes
Citing can be fun and is often misunderstood:
Citing is both trickier and easier than you might think. It is just a matter of figuring
out what goes where and following a set of standard rules. Nothing more, nothing less. (Patterson, 2008, para. 2)
Integrating Your Quotes
• Avoid having a quotation alone in a sentence.
Instead of:
“Citing is fun” (Patterson, 2008, p. 23).
Try:
Patterson found that “citing is fun” (2008, p. 23).
Page Number for Paraphrasing?
“When paraphrasing or referring to an idea contained in another work, you are encouraged to provide a page or paragraph number.”
APA sixth edition, section 6.04, p. 171.
What About Websites?
You’ll never have a URL as an
in-text citation.
You will find the author and publication date and cite as you would any other source.
And the Publication Date?
• Published on date
• Last updated date
• Copyright date
The last known date the information was deemed relevant.
For electronic sources that do not provide page numbers, use the paragraph number, if available, preceded by the abbreviation para. If neither paragraph nor page numbers are visible, cite the heading and the number of the paragraph following it to direct the reader to the location of the material (see section 6.05).
(Myers, 2000, para. 5)(Beutler, 2000, Conclusion section, para.
1)
Citing Electronic Sources in Text
When Can I Use a URL in Text?
• Only when citing an ENTIRE website.

Removing a Hyperlink
www.cnn.com

• Select remove hyperlink from the menu
www.cnn.com
Citing Multiple Sources Parenthetically 6.16
• Alphabetical order– (Beta Band, 2007; Cook, 2004; Super, 2009)
• Authors separated by a semicolon • Multiple years with the same author have
older year first, and use a, b, c designation for same years– (Poppycock, 2005a, 2005b; Zounds, 2001)
Personal Communication 6.20
• Includes interviews, e-mails, lectures, and more• Doesn’t appear in reference lists

(M. I. Right, personal communication, February 17, 2007)
Can I Cite Myself? APA p. 170
• Although students may be writing for a second, third, or fourth time on a topic, their writing at Walden is expected to reflect new approaches and insights into a topic to demonstrate their intellectual growth.
• When using their own scholarly work in subsequent research, students should cite themselves as primary author and their own previous coursework or KAM demonstrations as unpublished papers, as shown in the APA publication manual.
Example
Reference list:
Doe, J. (2006). My greatest paper. Unpublished manuscript, Department of English, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas.
In text:
Evidence from several trips to the moon by NASA suggests it is made of bleu cheese (Curie, as cited in Doe, 2006).
Citing Secondary Sources APA 6.17
If Cook’s work is cited in Rivers, and you did not read Cook, you’ll cite Rivers (what you actually read) in your reference list, and Rivers parenthetically in text.
Name the original work, and give a citation for the secondary source.
Sample
Cook’s study (as cited in Rivers, 1992) found that….
Rivers, H. (1992). I actually read this article. A Reader’s Kind of Place, 1(20), 220-240.
Report the Literature in Past Tense
Percy (1935) found
Mathieu (1955) argued
Korrapati (1975) wrote
Lynch (1995) discussed
Espinosa (2005) reported
Zuckerman (2009) whined, fished, indicated, extorted

Editorial APA
• APA style is more than just citations (believe it or not!).
• Hyphens, heading levels, grammar, punctuation, and spelling are all part of the APA publication manual.
A few of the hidden rules…
Ellipses Points APA p. 119 (5th)
• You will not use ellipses points before or after direct quotes.
– Use three spaced ellipsis points (…) within a sentence to indicate you have omitted material.
– Use four spaced ellipsis points (….) to indicate you have omitted material between sentences.
Ellipses Points APA p. 119 (5th)
Patterson said that “…citing is super good fun” (2009, p. 23).
Patterson said that “citing is…fun” (2009, p. 23).

• Lowercase theories (theory of learned behavior).
• Lowercase disorders or diseases (bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], multiple sclerosis)
• New: Appendices instead of appendixes.
Headings
• Use more headings rather than fewer.• Keep in mind your reader is a slow
processor.• Create a path for your reader to follow.• BUT you still need to transition between
your paragraphs.
