D. Citation and reference list

Authors must follow APA style and guidelines for in-text citation and reference listing of sources, as set in the latest edition of APA’s Publication manual. Please note all sources cited in the main text must be included in the reference list, and all sources included in the reference list must be cited within the main text.

In-text citation

Use author surname(s) and the date of publication for citing sources within the text. There are three models to compose a citation of this sort:

Author surname(s) and date of publication enclosed in parentheses

Please note a comma follows the author surname(s).

Author surname(s) in the running text, date of publication enclosed in parentheses

Author surname(s) and date of publication in the running text

Here are a few examples of in-text citation of frequently used source types.

Works by two authors

Use “and” to bind author surnames when included in the running text, and use “&” to bind them in enclosed parenthesis.

Works by three or more authors

First author’s surname is followed by “et al.”. Note this is an abbreviation of the latin expression et alia, and must include a point after “al.”

Multiple works by the same author

The dates of publication of the author’s works must be listed. When including the dates in the running text, use a “and” to bind the last date. When listing the dates in enclosed parenthesis, use a comma to separate each date.

Multiple works by the same author published in the same year

Use a, b, c, etc. to differentiate each work. These must follow the date of publication, no space in between.

Multiple works by different authors

For citing multiple works in enclosed parenthesis list the works in alphabetical order. Use a semicolon to separate each work.

Reference list

References must be listed alphabetically. When known, authors must include DOIs for cited articles.

Here is how to reference some types of sources frequently used in academic writing.
