  1. APA 6th ed.: In-Text Citations “and one edition to rule them all…” Mariam, Melissa, Sarah and Jennifer With special appearances by six important sages of our time.

  2. In-Text Citations: The Basics Use Author (Date) format. Use past tense Use (Author, date, p.#) when paraphrasing MAGIC NUMBER: 40 Words or less. c < 40 = in text citation, with page. 40 < c = stand alone block of text also with page. Use [sic] when citing a text with an error. Do not correct the error. Capitalize names and titles • My advice you follow and an APA 6th Ed. Jedi you will be.

  3. Citing the work of others: If you are citing: • The entirework: (Smith, 2004) • A specific page: (Smith, 2004, p. 39) • If the author's name is included in the text of the sentence where the citation takes place: Smith (2004, p. 39) • An online article with no page numbers: (Myers, 2000, para. 5) • (Beutler, 2000, Conclusion section, para. 1) • Use abbreviation "para." followed by the paragraph number you are citing. When possible, specify a section of the article. I pity the fool who doesn’t use APA 6!

  4. Citing Authors APA Manual, pp. 181-183 One author: (Author, Date) (Courtois, 2004) Two authors: (Author & Author, Year) (Kelley & Chang, 2007) Three to five authors First citation:
(Hughes, Brestan, & Valle, 2004) Subsequent citations:
(Hughes et al., 2004) Six or seven authors First citation:
(Phelps et al., 2004) Subsequent citations:
(Phelps et al., 2004) When a work has 6-7 authors, in-text citations consist of the first author's name followed by "et al." (Latin for "and others") and the date. Wax On, Wax Off, Dissertation-San

  5. Citing Authors & Works: Continued Eight or more authors First citation:
(Carter et al., 2004) Subsequent citations:
(Carter et al., 2004) When a work has 8 or more authors, in-text citations consist of the first author's name followed by "et al." (Latin for "and others") and the date. Group author American Dietetic Association. (1999). First citation:
 (American Dietetic Association [ADA], 1999) Subsequent citations:
(ADA, 1999) You Mess With APA…You’ll Get the Horns.

  6. More In-Text Citations: No authors listed: None to claim their bones: Relics of an old Brooklyn graveyard. (1888, April 12). New York Times, pp. 3-4. Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com/ List the source by title in your reference list. Alphabetize reference list entries beginning with a title using the primary word of the title (excluding a, an, and the). ("None to Claim Their Bones," 1888) In cases where the title contains a colon, use only the text before the colon in your in-text citation. APA 6 uses logic…so I love it.

  7. The Common Errors of APA 6th Ed. •  APA is an author-date system. • no author? Then begin with the title. • links are not underlined. • Stick to plain, readable fonts: Times • or Courier, 12 pt.  Make sure to • double space! • Use "and" in text and "&" inside • parentheses. • The word "data" is plural. • DO hyphenate nouns used as adjectives: decision-making processDO NOT hyphenate nouns NOT used as adjectives:  • the process of decision making. See p. 99 for more example • Of correct hyphen usage. Avoid committing these APA faux-pas to avoid the wrath of my roundhouse kick!
