Be sure that you double space your entire paper but do not put extra line spaces between paragraphs.When using others’ ideas or words in your paper, you must give proper attribution to the author(s) of that work in an in-text reference. APA offers two options for providing the in-text reference: using an attributive phrase, such as, “According to Smith and Jones (2019) …”; or, using a parenthetical reference, such as (Smith & Jones, 2019). Note that APA also requires the date of publication in the in-text reference. Regarding the number of authors you must list in an in-text citation, APA now directs writers to use et al. immediately with the first citation of a work with more than two authors, unless it is unclear which work you are citing. If you have an article by Green, Black, and Brown and another by Green, Black, and White, you must list all three authors for each article, so it is clear to the reader which work is being cited. If you have a work by Green, Black, White, and Brown and another by Green, Grey, Black, and Rojo, cite them as Green, Black et al. and Green, Grey et al. respectively. Because et al. is plural, you may not use it in place of just one author.Sometimes your information may come from an email, a text message, a conversation, an interview or similar communication. Since these types of communication are not in a recoverable format, they will not be included in your references; however, they must be cited in-text. The in-text citation must provide the name of the person from whom the information came, identify it as a personal communication, and provide the date of the communication. Just as with in-text citations for recoverable works, the in-text citation for a personal communication can be cited either using an attributive phrase or a parenthetical reference. For an attributive phrase, identify the initials and last name of the individual followed by personal communication and the date enclose in parentheses, for example: According to M. Bickle (personal communication, November 26, 2019), following all the rules of APA can be challenging for students. For a parenthetical in-text citation, enclose all the elements in the parentheses:Following all the rules of APA can be challenging for students (M.
