“Consistently citing and accurately paraphrasing and quoting sources are some of the most important parts of scholarly writing.” On July 13, 2020, ACRL/Choice offered a webinar Citing Works in Text Using 7th Edition APA Style presented by experts from APA Style team of the American Psychological Association. This presentation provided an in-depth look at the APA Style citation system, including how to create and format in-text citations, integrate source material into a paper, and cite at an appropriate level.
Style experts also answered many of writers’ most common citation questions. Among these were how to paraphrase versus directly quote a work, how to cite long paraphrases from a single source, when to include a page or paragraph number in a citation, and how to cite works without page numbers.
The webinar then provided hands-on practice implementing this information by showing examples of correct ways to format citations for paraphrased and quoted text and the opportunity to practice integrating sources and writing in-text citations.
