In-text, or parenthetical, citations indicate you are quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing someone else's work or ideas. In-text citations should correspond to a source in your reference list - this helps your reader identify the original source used in context.
APA uses the author/date method of in-text citation. Therefore, include in parentheses ( ) the author's last name and the year of publication after all direct quotes and paraphrased segments of your paper. Page numbers are included for direct quotes and some paraphrased content.
Example: (Pollan, 2005, p. 146).
Placement depends on how you incorporate a source into your writing - there is more than one correct way to cite in-text. See the APA Style and Grammar Guidelines for more information.
