APA Referencing Examples

APA is an author-date referencing style. You need to follow this style when acknowledging
your information sources.
APA style requires that all references in a document are to be cited in-text, and that all in-
text citations are compiled in a reference list at the end of the document. In-text citations
appear within the body of the document and include details such as author(s) family name,
year of publication, and page number(s) (if applicable). The reference list must provide full
details of all in-text citations and be arranged alphabetically by author.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS
General rules
When a work has two authors, always cite both family names every time the
reference occurs in the text.
When a work has three or more authors, cite only the family name of the first author
followed by et al. and the year of publication.
When using exact words that an author has used, you must enclose these in double
quotation marks “ ” and supply an in-text citation, including page number(s).
In your writing, you must acknowledge each author or source of information (whether
print or online) either by paraphrasing or using a direct quote.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is when you are expressing the ideas of the author(s) in your own words.
When paraphrasing, use round brackets to add the author(s) family name and the year of

author (narrative), or to the information being conveyed (parenthetical).

quote. At the end of the quote, include citation details such as author(s), year and page
number(s) in brackets.
