APA Citations (7th edition)

What Are In-Text Citations?

In-text citations are limited references we use in the body of our research paper. We follow the author-date method for in-text citations for APA citations. That means, when we are referencing an idea or a quote or anything coming from another individual, we give the author's last name and the year of publication, like this example (Flamm, 2024).
