Here are some examples of in-text citations: Short quotations If you are referring to an idea from another work but not directly quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book, article or other work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in-text reference. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, e.g., (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
In APA format, follow the author, date method of in-text citation. How you cite a working within your document varies depending on your writing style, whether you are quoting your source directly, and the type of source you are quoting.
