APA uses in-text citation and Reference List

When you use others' ideas in your paper, you should credit them with an in-text citation. APA Style uses a kind of parenthetical referencing called the author–date system.

As the name author–date system implies, APA Style in-text citations include the author and date, either both inside parentheses or with the author names in running text and the date in parentheses. Here are two examples: 

-After the intervention, children increased in the number of books read per week (Smith & Wexwood, 2010). 

-Smith and Wexwood (2010) reported that after the intervention, children increased in the number of books read per week. 

-The "and" in Smith and Wexwood is written as an ampersand (&) inside parentheses and as the word and outside of parentheses, as shown in the examples above.

Using in-text citations

According to Palladino and Wade (2010), “a flexible mind is a healthy mind” (p. 147).

In 2010, Palladino and Wade noted that “a flexible mind is a healthy mind” (p. 147).

In fact, “a flexible mind is a healthy mind” (Palladino & Wade, 2010, p. 147).

“A flexible mind is a healthy mind,” according to Palladino and Wade’s (2010, p. 147)

Palladino and Wade’s (2010) results indicate that “a flexible mind is a healthy mind”

(p. 147).

o The Reference List goes at the end of the paper under this title and it alphabetically organized according to the first position.

o The APA Publication Manual (6th ed.) says, "Each reference cited in text must appear in the reference list, and each entry in the reference list must be cited in text" (p. 174).
