Frequently Asked Questions
An APA in-text citation is a method used in academic writing to refer to the source of a quote or idea within the text itself. It typically includes the author's last name and the year of publication, guiding readers to the full reference in the bibliography.
To cite a book in APA, include the author’s last name and year of publication in parentheses after the quote or referenced text. Example: (Smith, 2020). This helps link the text to the full reference in the reference list.
Page numbers are required when directly quoting from a source. They are placed in the in-text citation after the year. For example: (Smith, 2020, p. 15). Page numbers help locate the exact source information.
If no author is available, use the title of the work and the year in the citation. For instance: (“Title of Work,” 2020). Italicize titles of books and reports; use quotation marks for articles and chapters.
For websites, include the author, publication date, and URL. Use the author’s last name or the organization name, followed by the year and the web page title. Example: (Author, 2020).
Yes, 'et al.' is used in APA for citations with more than three authors. For the first in-text citation, include all authors, then use 'et al.' for subsequent citations. Example: (Smith et al., 2020).
Yes, every in-text citation in APA requires the publication year to aid readers in locating the source in the reference list. Omit the year only if citing multiple works by the same author in the same year.
List the last names of all authors separated by commas, with '&' before the last author for two to five authors. Use 'et al.' for more than five. Example: (Smith, Johnson, & Lee, 2020) or (Smith et al., 2020).

This tool operates online, so an internet connection is required to access and use its features effectively.
Use 'n.d.' when the publication date isn't available. Example: (Smith, n.d.). This indicates that no date is provided for the source.
