APA Parenthetical
Citations
APA Parenthetical Citations
Parenthetical citation when author is mentioned in the text:Why we include parenthetical/in-text citations
Researchers include brief parenthetical citations in their writing to acknowledge references to other
publication. Page numbers are also included when citing a direct quote .If some of this information is included in the body of the sentence, exclude it from the parenthetical
citation. In-text citations typically appear at the end of the sentence, between the last word and the period.

Include all names in the first in-text parenthetical citation, separated by commas and then an ampersand (&). and publication year if it is the first citation in a paragraph.First in-text parenthetical citation:
All subsequent in-text parenthetical citations:

Parenthetical citations with multiple authors
Works with two authors:
Include both names, separated by an ampersand (&).APA Parenthetical Citations
Works with six or more authors:
parenthetical citations.Citing sources without an author
If a work has no author, include the first few words of the bibliography entry (in many cases, the title) and the year. Use double quotations around the titles of articles, chapters and/or websites Italicize the titles of periodicals, books, brochures or reportsInformation Illiteracy in Academia
See Table 6.1 in the APA Publication Manual (6thed.) for more information on formatting parenthetical
citations. When citing a specific part of a work, provide the relevant page number or section identifier, such as chapters, tables or equations. Direct quotes should always have page numbers.2S]cX]TTSr
Citing part of a work
*Note: Unlike in your reference list, parenthetical citations of articles, chapters and/or website should
have all major words capitalized.APA Parenthetical Citations
Corporations, government agencies and associations can be considered the author of a source when no specific author is given. Write out the full name of the group in all parenthetical citations: recognized abbreviation in all subsequent parenthetical citations:Citing groups or corporate authors
Citing classical works
For classical sources, such as ancient Greek works, cite the year of the translation or version used.
2S]cX]TTSr
If the source does not include page numbers (such as online sources), you can reference specific parts of the
work by referencing the: Section or heading and the number of the paragraph in which the information is found oFor lengthy headings, use the first few words of the title in the parenthetical citationAPA Parenthetical Citations
When citing specific content from these sources, include the paragraph/line numbers that are usedin classical works. This information is consistent across versions/editions, and is the easiest way to
locate direct quotes from classical works. Remember, you do not need to create formal citations in your reference list for classical works.Citing and formatting block quotes
When directly quoting information from sources in your writing, you may need to format it differently depending on how many words are used.If a quote runs on for more than 40 words:
Start the direct quotation on a new line
Indent the text roughly half an inch from the left margin oIf there are multiple paragraphs in the quotation, indent them an extra half inchRemove any quotation marks
Double-space the text
Add the parenthetical citation after the final sentenceAPA Visual Guides
