STEP 2: CITE YOUR IN-TEXT SOURCES AND REFERENCES PROPERLY
![Page 8: A QUICK GUIDE TO APA 7TH EDITION - uregina.ca](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032001/622c7d397422b969da5e580d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
APA USES THE AUTHOR – DATE SYSTEM¡ Every quotation you use or source you refer to will need to have a reference after it in the (author,
date) format.
¡ When you quote directly, make sure you also include the page number the quotation comes from.

¡ If your work has two authors, use both authors last names in your parenthetical citation.
¡ If it has three or more authors, use the first author’s last name, and then add “et al.” (and others) to account for the other author names.

¡ If you work has no author, cite part of the title in the parentheses so your readers know what work you’re drawing from:
¡ “Source material goes here” (“Title of Document,” 2002)
¡ If your document has an organizational author, cite the name of the organization:
¡ “Source material goes here” (American Psychological Association [APA], 2002)
