Thank you, Instructor Sean,and Scribbs, for your announcements of essays. I always watch, and follow these instructions on the videos, to have your tips, for the forums, Apa style, in text citations, and advice, for the week, when I need to complete my assignments, of essays. I appreciate the work you do with us. As a student at GCU (Grand Canyon University), of bachelor’s in science of healthcare administration, I always need your help to get my good grade A, each week, but with your feedback I finish the steps for my assignments. Academic writing. It is a challenging task and I acknowledge my challenging work the past week to complete courses online. Working on it, I can develop my skills. will use this information to be successful in future courses. It is important to do well with the explanation, when I watch these videos and announcements, it helps me to prepare my online class, and to pursue my career.

Hi! Quick question: When you used multiple authors (so 2) you quoted Harris in front of Cook. What defines the order? I always thought it would be alphabetical, am I wrong? Thanks!

How do you reference lecture slides both in text and at the end of the page?

[@cristinamcallister242]

I haven't been able to find this answer anywhere, so hopefully you can answer it for me. How do you cite an in-text narrative quote? For example, I want to say something like.....According to Smith (2021), "quote from Smith here" (Smith, 2021, p.4). Is that the proper format? Do I need to put the year at the beginning and then again at the end?

I am a law student (pre-law). How do I reference a newspaper article reporting on a court case before it is indexed? Both in text and in the Ref. List. (asking from South Africa). Many tanks.

[@jessicayones806]

Yeah, my University used a different KZbin video to explain APA and there wasn’t one mention of Scribbr. Then I had to take a timed test on APA, that had I known of Scribbr, would have helped a lot at deciphering which citation was correct when only given a minute to evaluate each citation and compare it to multiple others…

[@houdawaarab3824]

thanks, please i have some questions according to this lesson! what means valume and issue? and what should I do in the case of having two authors with the same name or having the same date of publication in reference liste (APA style 7th edition)? my last question is in the day of the exam how I will write in italics the reference entry (i need this info cuz I am too confused, I have a research exam tomorrow pleaase!)

[@murtazashabbir3413]

Thank you Jessica, this was informative and useful. Do i need to add footnotes again after in text citation?

[@Scribbr-us]

You're welcome! No, you do not need to include footnotes for an APA style in-text citation 😊

[@dearjem]

Instead of putting 'p' for page number, for example (Kersten, 1997, p.5) can I write (Kersten, 1997:5) , so a semicolon instead?

hello! what if you created a research paper. you added what you thought never existed yet. but after awhile, you realized that the statement or the research you used was already started/created by someone else. You wanted to add the citation but you published it already. Should you still add the source? if yes, how?

To all my GVA and Edgenuity people out there Directions: After Viewing this video on APA Citations, write THREE (3) ways you could use APA citations to avoid plagiarism based on the video. 1. If your citing a specific part of a source try your best to use a locator. 2. You only need to use a page number when using a direct quote 3. When your source has multiple authors a maximum of 2 authors are included in the in text citiation. If there are more use "et all" meaning 'and others'
