Use in-text citations when. . .
•Quoting•Paraphrasing
•Summarizing
![Page 8: APA style guide powerpoint](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/547a7362b4af9fbe158b4b6c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Source within a source
• Don’t quote a source that your source has also quoted.– Instead, find the original source and quote it
directly. – This eliminates confusion within your paper
and the reference list.

How do citations work?
They direct your reader to your reference page.
Include only the necessary elements, so I don’t become confused.
