For each type of source in this guide, both the general form and an example will be provided.
The following format will be used:
In-text citation (paraphrase) - entry that appears in the body of your paper when you express the ideas of a researcher or author using your own words.
In-text citation (quotation) - entry that appears in the body of your paper after a direct quote.
References - entry that appears at the end of your paper.
Information on citing and several of the examples were drawn from the APA Manual (6th ed.).

For the in-text citation for a book with eight or more authors, include the first author and then 'et al.'.
