sentences, but rather than indicating the author's name and page number, APA
includes author's name and date of publication. The page number, represented with a
p. or a pp., is only added to the citation when using a direct quote (not a summary or
paraphrase). If the author's name is mentioned in the sentence, then place the date of
publication in parentheses directly after the name. If the name is not mentioned
include the author's name and date in parentheses at the end of the source material.

Works Cited format. With APA you include the initial of the author's first name
rather than the complete name, the publication date immediately follows the author's
name in parentheses, and titles of articles are not surrounded with quotation marks.
The lists are still alphabetized by author's last name (or title in the absence of an
author) and the first line is flush left while subsequent lines in the same entry are
indented in (approximately 5 spaces or one tab). A good resource to help you with
reference list rather than a bibliography with your paper (APA, 2017). A reference
