Have you ever heard the APA? It is neither a yoga style nor a Filipino translation of
cone. Like Bok, you have mistakenly interpreted it as such. But anyway, the
acronym stands for the American Psychological Association citation style. I am sure
you have heard this during your junior high school years. This lesson will have an
in-depth discussion on this citation style and in the end, you will have the skill in
using it in your research.
What is It
There are two (2) things that you need to remember in using APA. First, it is used
as an in-text citation and second, it is used in reference citation.
The in-text citation is a reference citation that is made within the body of the text
or essay (Waikato Institute of Technology, 2010). The main question now is when
are we going to use in-text citation? Practically, we use in-text citations every time
we quote, summarize, and paraphrase statements, information, and ideas that
came from others. It is a scholarly acknowledgment through giving credit who
stipulated the ideas and concepts (FANSHAWE Library and Media Services, 2018).
5
How about if the writer wanted to indicate the title of the source? Of course, you
can do it. However, title has to be in quotation marks.
In some cases, the title of book, articles, proceedings, journal articles and the like
are italicized. However, when you italicized the title, omit the quotation marks.
In-text citation without quotation.
Fernandez (2020) attested that citation can be used only at the beginning
and end of the sentence, whereas Munez (2020) claimed otherwise.
6
When do we use “et al.” in our citation? “Et al.” is a Latin term for “et alia” which
means “and others”. This is used when you have multiple authors. Multiple
authorship is authorship composed of six (6) or more authors. Thus, when you
have less than six authors, you need to write their surname. If you use in-text
citation at the beginning, just connect their surname with a comma and “and”.
However, if it is at the end of the statement, you connect the authors’ surname with
the use of comma and ampersand (Indiana Wesleyan University, 2019).
Fernandez, Munez, and Valencia (2020), attested that citation can be used
only at the beginning and end of the statement.
It was attested that citation can be used only at the beginning and end of
the statement (Fernandez, Munez, & Valencia, 2020).
Fernandez et al. (2020), attested that citation can be used only at the
beginning and end of the statement.
It was attested that citation can be used only at the beginning and end of
the statement (Fernandez, et al., 2020).
What if you have two or more authors with similar facts or information? In dealing
with this scenario, all of them are placed on the same parenthesis. However, they
are separated with a semicolon. Likewise, authors’ name has to be listed in
alphabetical order (George Brown College, 2014).
It was attested that citation can be used only at the beginning and end of the
statement (Fernandez, 2020; Munez, 2019; Valencia & Montemayor, 2018).
7
What if the idea that you are going to cite was already cited by an author? In
circumstance like this, it can be done it two (2) ways.
Montemayor as cited in Fernandez (2020) that citation can be used only at the
beginning and end of the statement.
Montemayor (2001) attested that citation can be used only at the beginning
and end of the statement (as cited in Pitt, 2020)
How about when you are going to cite a website article without authorship or
organizational author? If you are going to cite a website article without authorship,
you need to use the webpage title or few words of the title in the parentheses.
“Man in need” (2020), eating healthy foods gives us more time for our love
ones.
Eating healthy foods gives us more time for our love ones (“Man in need,”
2020).
How about page number, are we going to include it? Many of the in-text citations
omit page numbers. However, it is encouraged to declare even the page number.
Aside from it, this adds credibility to your sources if you are going to declare it.
Fernandez (2020), eating healthy foods gives us more time for our love ones
(p. 99).
According to Fernandez (2020), eating healthy foods gives us more time for
our lovehighlighted
It was ones (para.that
99). eating healthy foods gives us more time for our love
ones (Fernandez, 2020, para. 99).

After learning how in-text citation is done, let us move on to reference citation. This
provides authority to your statements by providing your readers' access to those
sources. Likewise, it is an acknowledgment of the information you have brought
out on your research. Of course, in-text citations need to appear in the reference
section of your paper. Practically, it is the list of the sources you have cited
throughout your paper. This will provide your readers access to all the sources you
have considered in your research(DCU Library, 2017). Because we have used the
APA 6th edition citation style in your in-text citation, we use also APA 6th edition
reference style in your reference entry. However, this only limited to the reference
citations you will be using on your study. These are reference citation on books,
journals, online sources and theses and dissertations in single authorship, multiple
authorship, without author and date.
1. BOOKS
If you can notice, the structure of this is the author’s name (surname, first name,
middle initial) then followed by a period. After that, the date of publication and then
a period are included. Next is the title of the book (remember that the whole title is
italicized and the first letter is capitalized). There is an exemption, all proper names
are capitalized. After the title, write the publishing company (Hacker, 2010).

publication
When authorship reached to five (5), you are going to use “et al.” Thus, book with
one to five authorship takes the usual format.

JOURNAL ARTICLES
a. Single Author
If you notice, it is similar to the reference citation for book, however, what just
makes it different is that it includes the journal publication (first letter of the word
is capitalized) then followed by volume, issue and page number and digital object
identifier (doi). Remember two (2) things. First is that journal publication is
italicized and second if doi is not present, you can just omit that part.

This citation for thesis or dissertation follows the same format with books. It starts
with the author, date published, title of the thesis or dissertation. Take note that
the title needs to be italicized. Then, there is parenthesis, inside it is the description
of what reference is being cited, is it a master’s thesis or dissertation? Last part is
the institution where it is made and the location of the institution (commonly
writers write the country).
b. Thesis or dissertation from repository
The format still follows similar with the hardcopy. However, the last part should
indicate the link of the thesis. See the format below with the label.
ONLINE SOURCES
Notice that on the last part of the entry, it includes the link where the article was
retrieved.
