Citing In-text - APA Style

Instructions

When you cite references in the text of your work, you should include the following:

- author’s name

- year of publication

- page numbers (if using a direct quote, or statistics)

There are many variations on the way the above details can be used in your writing.

For example:

APA uses a comma after the author’s name (eg. Brown, 2006) whilst Harvard does not use a comma (eg. Brown 2006).

Both referencing styles have a comma after the year if using page numbers:

(Brown, 2006, p. 28) - APA

(Brown 2006, p. 28) - Harvard

Consult the Library’s Referencing Guides for more examples.
