The Basics of APA In-text Citations (6th Edition) | Scribbr 🎓

[@hannah3755]

this was so much easier to understand than that entire lesson we spent on apa citing

[@Scribbr-us]

I'm glad to hear this!

[@lughanomwalilino7708]

tell me about it😂

[@sabrinahayes3184]

Agreed!

[@stormycox1056]

I have been a continued college student for 3 years and this has been the most simple and easy explanation I have had! Thank you !

[@Scribbr-us]

Great to hear!

[@brotherhh2491]

You explained me in 3 minutes what my teacher tried to teach me in 20 min

[@MiguelAngel-tq7fm]

who knew citing was so complicating (by me, 2020, during a pandemic, trying to do an essay, not understanding, et. al).

[@ladyelephant9589]

You forgot the et al., because I’m sure many of us felt that. 🥲

[@ladyelephant9589]

I see now that you put the “et all.,”. I’ve been studying for 4 hours my brain hurts, I apologize. 🥲

[@riekuno]

I felt that

[@dalvara208]

I feel the same way. I only heard a lot of complicated rules when they explain how to make citations. ..

Hi, you may have single handedly saved my school career with this video. I haven't found any other sources that lay it out so clearly, and I just couldn't grasp how they work. So thank you very much for making this video!

[@Scribbr-us]

There's a small mistake at 1:20 ❎ - the date appears in parentheses must be placed immediately after the author’s name for a narrative citation. Please keep this in mind while you're watching the video 🙂 This video follows the *APA 6th edition* guidelines. If you’re looking for the latest edition (APA 7th edition), check out this video instead ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/paHTY2hvjtuUpac

You're so transparent. These vids helped me to complete my assignment without any hassle. x

Thank you!

[@chrisscott7545]

thank for making it short and simple, i found a lot of videos from 10 to 24 minutes

[@fkoff0407]

Dude this is the easiest tutorial I've washed so far and love how to do your examples comparing all of them at once not a bunch of stuff in 1 screen. Ty so much. I took a break for 1 year when my husband and I got engaged and forgot everything. Lol

[@momowawa447]

why can't teaching be like this, precise, straight to the point.

[@robertdiaz809]

I don't how many times I've come back to this video to make sure I've got the syntax right, but I have recommended it to anyone who never learned citations in high school or college. I also recommend to them The Scribbr APA generator you introduced, with the warning that you you forego the auto-generator at your own peril. University professors slice these citations up with finely honed kitchen knives, each cut shaving points from your overall grade. Thanks.

[@WavyGravy12]

I have used this video for every APA-style paper I have written, thank you so much!

[@kotimkawage4450]

Thank you very much, I have been a university student (UNIVERSITY OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA) but did not understand till this video breaks open the web in my head

[@raccoon_1492]

Okay, I forgot and this helped a ton. Thanks.

[@Scribbr-us]

Glad to hear this!

[@jessamaedonayre5754]

I forgot some information about when is the right time we use 'et al.' Finally, it helps me keep what I have learned.

[@meggles2188]

Tried Scribbr after watching this video and can't believe it's taken me so long to switch from Citation Machine. Really appreciate the in-text citation option and clean layout!😊

[@chellyvino]

Omg you made this soooo simple. We get points taken off in my MBA courses for missing in-text citation. I was soooo confused on how to do it.

[@Scribbr-us]

Now you won't miss a point anymore 😎

hi, i have a question. can you refer to the author as he/she when starting the next sentences after using ‘author(date)’ in the first? thank you for this btw!!! hihi

[@arnelbenitezdalion9897]

Your tutorials are awesome 👏👏👏

[@Scribbr-us]

Thank you so much 😀

[@elainehigden9418]

Jessica, thank you for this great resource! FYI, the inclusion of a source title in the text is not the same as it is in the references. According to the 7th edition of APA style, in-text title use for articles has quotation marks and normal (first letter of major words or each word over x letters--the preposition of is not capitalized and the preposition Between is capitalized) title capitalization while the reference list entry does not have quotation marks and uses first-word capitalization--at the beginning of the title and after a colon or a dash (subtitle). Book/Journal titles also have normal title capitalization for in-text use while the references use the first-word of title and subtitle (and proper nouns).

[@muhammadashan7296]

Thank you so much for such an outstanding explanation.

[@sadeellis]

Thank you so MUCH!!!! I'd like to ask a few questions though just to be clear! When you're referring to the source as a whole (0:50) is that when you get information but reword it in your own words (not within quotations) while using the cite to show where you got the information from? What do you do when you have multiple citations from the same website but from different sections of the website? Do you do separate references for all in the reference list?

1:54 Why do did we include only one year If there are more then one Authors?

[@ErayErtugrul09]

Dear Jessica, I should admit that it's such a great work. And, I'd like to ask how to cite if it is already cited ? For instance, I'm reading an articles which made an in-text citation and I want to get that idea or quote from there. Do I just cite the article that I'm reading through or Should I cite the exact source that's also mentioned in the article I'm reading ? It will be so much utile if you could answer that. Thanks in advance!

Thank you!! May I ask, you mentioned if author not known, and organization not known , to use the title. But title should be italicized or double quoted as per the reference. Under what circumstances will reference be double quoted

[@Scribbr-us]

Hey Aaron, really good question! You should enclose the title in double quotation marks when citing an article, web page or book chapter. Italicize the title of periodicals, books, reports and brochures. Hope it helps 😎

What are we suppose to do if we wish to cite a paragraph already containing citations. For example: "We wish to record this test as accurately as possible but as Smith (2020) observed, the recording procedure itself it may influence or alter the behavior of the test subject" (Peterson, 2020). Should we add Smith's article also to our biography, although we didn't read it?

[@kiye3950]

Thank you for this i understand better now!! i hope i pass my test ^_^
