This is an updated version of a previous tutorial on how to use APA style in-text citations (6th edition). It also briefly explains plagiarism issues and how to avoid them.
This is the best short description of writing in APA I have ever seen. I teach Criminal Justice and require my students to write in APA so they can get used to showing support for and documentation of their arguments or thesis. If you teach and require APA, I would highly recommend you post a link to this video in your syllabus. Thank you M.A. Scott!
Wow, why wasn't I taught this in high school? It's slightly confusing to me, but sometimes I have to watch something over and over to catch on. However this was very informative. Thank you.

Professor Mary Anne what about two authors who wrote a scholarly research paper and you cite them do you need both of them or do you use one and add etel
Pogiso Sehume for 2 authors, you cite them both. Here is an excellent quick guide: owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/in_text_citations_author_authors.html.

It depends on the information you are providing. If you are talking about what the article says (or what the authors conclude or argue), you use the present tense. If you are referring to specific actions in the past, like how the research was conducted, you use the past tense. Some Ph.D. programs or journals have more specific preferences, however.
serah oly Here is a good discussion of how much to include in quotation marks and when to use a block quote: owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_quotations.html
lingling kong if you are citing specific information that you found on a specific page, you should cite the page number even if it is not quoted material. If it is more general information, you don’t need the page number.
lingling kong If you paraphrase a specific piece of information, you would include the page number where we can find it. If it’s a broad reference to general information, you don’t need the page reference.

This is one of the best videos on APA in-text citations I use for my Nursing students. Just wondering if there is an updated version for APA 7th edition? Thanks!
Thank you! What if I am wanting to use the same source multiple times throughout my paper but am citing different parts of the book? In my reference page do I need to make a separate reference for each citation with different page numbers or do I site the book one time and just include the range of pages I used?
Abbie McMillan if it’s a book, the same reference is fine. Just use the appropriate page numbers. If it is a collection of different essays or articles, you would cite each one and include each essay as a separate entry on your references page. If the chapters are written by different people, cite them as separate works as well. The Purdue OWL website has an excellent APA style guide. You would look up the entry for how to cite a chapter in a book or anthology.
Very useful but had to mute the video and turn on the subtitles cuz its super irritating when you swallow saliva that loudly bruh don't do that in the future
Excellent material! I was lucky enough to learn this for my English II, and especially English III and IV AP/dual enrollment courses back in HS. We scratched the surface on all styles in II, then spent the entire year on specific styles especially MLA, AMA, and APA our junior year. We really dug in deep that third year. The reason was simple we would use it the following year for English IV Dual Enrollment. That course is essentially comp I at University of Texas RGV. There we applied what we learned sophomore and junior years for college credit our. I know, however, that this is the exception and not the rule hence why that high school is within the top 10 nationally in the US. Later, once I started undergrad and then now during my graduate studies I appreciate the value of this early introduction and education on this! We only had AP classes back in HS with the exception of freshmen year which is all Pre-AP. It’s sad that many students don’t see this until they begin college, university or even grad school!
Aly Tarmin depending on what kind of website you are looking at, I would caution against a site that does not offer a clear author. If it is a .gov site or an organization’s site, the organization would serve as the author. Start with the Purdue OWL’s style guide if you don’t have the APA manual. owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html.

That's wonderful! Thanks! I have a video about building a reference page here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZ3XTSKJeX0.html This should cover the basics.
Sarah 7azim your library should have a copy of the latest APA manual. Another excellent resource is the style guide on Purdue ‘s online writing lab owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html

Thanks so much for that sharp eye, Janel. In general, APA uses the past tense. I created this video for our general university audience and some of this depends upon the purpose of the paper and the desires of the professor. If it is not an applied research paper, many professors treat it as any other discussion of literature, which calls for the present tense when talking about the implications/claims/conclusions. That said, if you look at the APA manual, you will see a section on "smoothness of expression". In general, when talking about how a study was conducted, you use the past tense or the present perfect (e.g. "researchers have shown"). However, when you discuss the implications of the results/study and conclusions, you typically use the present tense. I should probably add a more definitive caveat here. Thanks for the input! :)
thank you very much! I learned from everything you mentioned; everything was new for me. I never learned APA in high school (only MLA) and here I am first year in university and all my classes for my program are APA :0
