APA Style

APA Style

      We have to write a sentence in a variety of ways and still be following perfect APA Style.

      All of the citations of a direct quote must be in correct APA Style, citing the author, year, and page number.

       We have varied the placement of the citation information. By changing the order of information in the sentence, you can choose what information to emphasize.

      Citation content can vary depending on the type of source and may include:

ü  Book: author(s), book title, publisher, date of publication, and page number(s) if appropriate.

ü  Journal: author(s), article title, journal title, date of publication, and page number(s).

ü  Newspaper: author(s), article title, name of newspaper, section title and page number(s) if desired, date of publication.

ü  Web site: author(s), article and publication title where appropriate, as well as a URL, and a date when the site was accessed.

ü  Play: inline citations offer part, scene, and line numbers, the latter separated by periods: 4.452 refer to scene 4, line 452. For example, "In Eugene Onegin, Onegin rejects Tanya when she is free to be his, and only decides he wants her when she is already married" (Pushkin 4.452-53).

ü  Poem: spaced slashes are normally used to indicate separate lines of a poem, and parenthetical citations usually include the line number(s). For example: "For I must love because I live / and life in me is what you give." (Brennan, lines 15–16).

ü  Interview: name of interviewer, interview descriptor (ex. personal interview) and date of interview.
